A Florida News Network special from May 1997 on preparing for hurricanes. This was produced at and recorded off WFTV, an early example of their Counterpoint/EQ Vance era.

 

 

Due to bad weather and power failures, WDEF is forced to do their 11pm news for March 20, 1995 from their newsroom:

More from this channel - WHOA! ‘DEF picked up Counterpoint in early ‘96?!

 

Then that means they used PYCCO afterward, and THEN reverted to Counterpoint AGAIN in ‘98?

 

Shes also got some WYFF work as well (their very first “News 4” era!)

Now here's a real rarity. Channel 10 in Helena, back when it was Helena's first Fox affiliate (which after a series of affiliation switches and a hostile buyout of the IP by Gray is now KUHM, the Helena outlet of Montana PBS) had Montana's very first 9pm newscast, which was produced by KTVH under a time brokerage agreement.

A portion of a KING weekend newscast from 1999. Lots of other material on this channel.

 

I don’t remember seeing this set of KING graphics before... these must have been used for about a year, right before the former Providence Journal stations package.

This was a Novocom package. I actually have a really low-rez RealPlayer file with one of the extended opens somewhere.

A KMTV clip from 1980 featuring Dick Fletcher very shortly before his Tampa run, along with John McDonald and Chuck Roberts of CNN. They used “TuesdayA”.

 

I wonder if KMTV picked up "Tuesday A" when they changed from "News 3" to "NewsCenter 3" in 1979?

 

That was one helluva news team: Chuck Roberts, Dale Hanson, Dick Fletcher. I don't know much about John McDonald-wonder where he went after KMTV?

Go to 12:26 in that WBKB video for an awesome promo touting the efforts by the then-5 ABC O&O stations to improve such things as awareness of community issues and race relations.

How can you tell the difference between Suzy Nelson and Keri Tombazian? I’ve been having trouble with that!

 

Keri's voice is a bit more sultry and enunciated. Suzy has a friendlier tone.

 

It wouldn't surprise me if some of the NMSA entries are mislabeled either. WRC sounds more like Suzy Nelson
