WWUpdate 1290 Posted November 5, 2019 Share Posted November 5, 2019 On 1/24/2018 at 10:49 PM, WWUpdate said: WLS, Chicago; 10 p.m. (excerpts, including the close), 1971 -- a rare clip from the Flynn-Daly (Eyewitness) News-branded era: I just noticed that NMSA has WLS adopting Cool Hand Luke in 1969. Is that a mistake, or did WLS use Cool Hand Luke and From Russia With Love (heard in the clip above) simultaneously on different newscasts? Or -- this is the third possibility -- is the clip above not from 1971? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That said, this documentary from 1968 (still WBKB) uses FRWL, so I'd guess that's what they used going back to at least the launch of the Flynn-Daly EWN branding. When they adopted/went all-in on CHL is anyone's guess, as there's a big hole in WLS opens from 1971-76 (Video link only available/public for this month) https://museum.tv/PP_ONLINE/TV_00146.mp4 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Here he is during his second stint in Chicago: I was going to say that was peak Udell market wise then looked online and saw he did stints in LA and NY early on. He figured out settling down in Hawaii though...long long run there. Looking good in retirement here 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WWUpdate 1290 Posted November 7, 2019 Share Posted November 7, 2019 We've seen this before, but this is how Udell was introduced to WTHR in Indianapolis back in 1976; the promos were either done by Joe Sedelmaier (of WLS and Wendy's "Where's the beef?" fame) or by someone closely imitating his style: 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Samantha 2873 Posted November 8, 2019 Share Posted November 8, 2019 They might have both been ABC affiliates in Missouri, but the 2 NewsTeam != NewsTeam 2: The guy who uploaded this also put up an hour of his own work, including rare looks at KBCI and KCRG in the late 70s/early 80s. One open at 5:57. What's appalling? That open was new in January 1984 which is when the story is from — the station had just changed logos and the open looks like it's 1980 or 1979. (NewsCenter II as a theme is one clue this is laaaate.) 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

KnoxvilleTVFan 285 Posted November 11, 2019 Share Posted November 11, 2019 (edited) I recently came across a rare newscast from KXII-TV 12 featuring anchorman John Hurt, dated 1980. Here is another rare news clip from Texas. This time, we take you to KGBT-TV for a news open from 1983-84. And here is a weekend news open from KGBT from 1984. And another KGBT open from the early 1980s using the WAVY news theme from Tuesday. And...a news open using the NBC TV-Radio Telepulse theme.

Ron Oliveira, Gloria Campos, Jeff Eliasoph.... Also how is that the WAVY News Theme?

WWUpdate 1290 Posted November 13, 2019 Share Posted November 13, 2019 (edited) From Chicago, a short WFLD news promo from that brief period in 1987 when the station aired news at 7 p.m. and 11 p.m. (an unusual time slot for a Central Time station!), but not at 9 p.m.: By the way, the first "32" logo seen above -- from "Latenight 32" -- was the station's pre-Fox logo. And here are the first seven minutes of a WFLD newscast from the following year: Edited November 13, 2019 by WWUpdate 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
