Nice. I've read that WPEC was considered a 'joke'. WPTV was a Scripps clone.

Rare glimpses at the pre-1986 KTVK set at the 4:47 mark and the very last frame of the clip.

And then there was this one we were discussing about in Discord. A retrospective of his entire career in broadcasting as Director. He did leave KTVY/KFOR for OETA I believe around late 1992/early 1993 where he produced and directed some of the specials (including the Centennial anniversary of Oklahoma becoming a state in 2007) as seen here

In memory and in tribute to the late Jane Gardner. RIP and Godspeed.

 

 

And the billing is a huge part of it, IMO:

 

"From the Eastern Shore to the Outer Banks, and all of Hampton Roads... Jane Gardner, Gene Kapp, Dr. Duane Harding with Doppler weather, and Bob Rathbun on sports. This is WTKR-TV's News 3 at 11."
