Ntropolis 593 Posted July 7, 2019 Share Posted July 7, 2019 Some of my flea market finds from today... WTKR from March 1995! Probably the most that's been seen of the short-lived TV-3 News look. 3 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Samantha 2873 Posted July 7, 2019 Share Posted July 7, 2019 (edited) That 'TKR format would have been a good match for a Fox affiliate starting up a news department, but I can see why the presentation didn't work so well for WTKR. ——— This CFTO clip from 1991 includes a snippet of them using something I never knew made it to Toronto: the early 90s CFQC/CKCK theme (an underrated jam IMO)! Was it only used for this 5:30 newscast? Edited July 7, 2019 by Samantha 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TheFizzle21 39 Posted July 13, 2019 Share Posted July 13, 2019 On 7/2/2019 at 10:54 PM, Info Junkie said: Hard to believe the 1994-96 affiliation shuffles will be officially 25 years old on September 3rd. I feel incredibly old. (I say this 3 days after graduating high school) I'm only 26 and can do nothing but wish to have remembered and experienced the major swings of affiliates. As much as I'd like to see how crazy the general public would go watching a similar situation go down in present day, there's no more room for another broadcast network to pull a Fox-like move neither a major company looking to swallow up any of the Big 4. Not to mention, the last two major acquisitions that involved the Big 4 (Comcast buying NBCU; Disney getting 20th just this year) had little to no impact on station affiliation (thanks, streaming, cable, and satellite?) I guess there's always the What-If threads of Speculatron to help me find those alternate timelines Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
channel2 869 Posted July 13, 2019 Share Posted July 13, 2019 The networks have seen to it that there are no more New World-esque shakeups. That Fox eventually bought New World outright - and still owns most of the outlets they inherited from them - helps with that. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It wouldn't be as big of a deal. However, there would probably a lot of confused baby boomers. On the other hand, if you take The Office off of Netflix... oh wait... 2 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ntropolis 593 Posted July 14, 2019 Share Posted July 14, 2019 WAVY's 11pm newscast from Saturday, September 27, 2003. This tape is without a doubt one of my coolest finds - this newscast followed the three-hour special WAVY aired chronicling Hurricane Isabel. I plan to upload that eventually.

Info Junkie 1285 Posted July 18, 2019 Share Posted July 18, 2019 (edited) A KETV update from July 10, 1981 - by this point Carol Schrader had assumed the lead anchor position and would continue to anchor until the “Newsplex” era in 1996. EDIT: The full newscast! Includes a long open with the KVBC 1980 Theme. Interestingly, it takes cues from KSL’s open at the time, and the graphical animations of this open would be recycled when they used “Newsbeat”.
