KPHO, Phoenix, 1986:

 

 

This was actually a replay of the 9:30pm newscast that aired right before the sign-off, which can be found in this vid:

Also among Mr. Pannoni's uploads today, a full WZZM newscast from 1989:

Plus, take a look inside WTVC in 1983/4:

It's the WTVG Noon Report for September 18, 1981:

 

 

If you like news music, this is a 🌩 moment: it suggests a potentially different history for WTVG. Clearly this music went with the "13 Strong" theme — the ident has the same three note signature.

 

13 Strong debuted when WTVG was WSPD-TV, either in early 1977 or very late 1976. WSPD-TV is listed as a Peters Productions client. Did this music come from them...and from then?

I am not for sure about this, but I do know that the music in the WTVG open may have also been used by KOLN/KGIN in Lincoln/Grand Island, Nebraska in the mid 1980s. You can watch this video at 10:28 and hear that WTVG music being used in a news close that aired during 10/11's first late news of New Year's Day 1985.

It's 4 Sure—ahem, no, it's for real.

 

KOLN is ALSO on the Peters client list. They debuted the 10/11 Strong moniker in 1977 with this ad, which is pretty darn Peters-y.

WLBT Channel 3 (NBC Jackson, MS): 10 P.M. late edition from around May '84 (owing to the reference to Raymond Burr's 67th birthday, among others), w/Bert Case, Maggie Wade, Michael Rubinstein on sports, and Steve Raleigh weather

 

ETA: one story has a reporter outside a Circuit Court in Meridian, MS with a microphone for WLBT's Meridian satellite station at the time, WLBM Channel 30 (that one is now a standalone, WGBC, according to WLBT's Wikipedia entry):

Also, here's the ID from that newscast:
