Samantha 2873 Posted April 8, 2021 Share Posted April 8, 2021 Yes! KTXS had appeared on Facebook a couple years before. It's a wireframe of what looks to be some sort of final product, too. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

VHSgoodiesWA 280 Posted April 11, 2021 Share Posted April 11, 2021 Recent re-uploads from the YouTube purge. KIMA News Weekend Edition, taped February 2nd, 2003 with Michelle Perreault, Mike McCabe WX and Kyle Draper's sports. Mike McCabe is still working at KEPR/KIMA as the chief meteorologist... https://archive.org/details/capture-a-440 KIMA News at 5 from a couple weeks later, February 19th, 2003. Sten Walstrom, Roxeanne Vainuku and Stu Seibel WX. Loved this old set of the Yakima Valley. Looked pretty good for market #114. Too bad it's cheapened down to the logo on TVs behind Jake Taylor nowadays... https://archive.org/details/capture-a-427 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And speaking of which, here's two opens from KNTV, which does use the theme and with Collier Concepts' animation work, so it doesn't seem like a waste. 6PM open (unfortunately someone - the person recording the tape? - overdubbed the open): 11PM open: And of course, KGMB used it too (sourced from a documentary, which I'm also posting here): And the accompanying promos: Edited April 13, 2021 by E.

VHSgoodiesWA 280 Posted April 15, 2021 Share Posted April 15, 2021 KNDO News 23 Late Edition, 4/6/1992 (partial). Jim Lewis is the anchor. He was at KNDO in the late '80s and early '90s timeframe. https://archive.org/details/capture-a-529 KAPP 35 commercials aired during The Thorn Birds on 7/20/1993, but also includes the first two minutes of Northwest NightCast at the end. Kevin Shaub and Tyffani Peters are the anchors. I believe NW Nightcast originated from KVEW Kennewick and not KAPP. https://archive.org/details/capture-a-522 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And while they never permanently anchored a show together at WLS, this is from their final show together in 2016, just months before both retired. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WWUpdate 1290 Posted April 15, 2021 Share Posted April 15, 2021 (edited) That's a great find! And since the article mentions former World News Tonight co-anchor Max Robinson, are there any clips from his WMAQ stint available online? I don't remember ever seeing any. And does anyone know how he and Magers ended up dividing their shifts? Edited April 15, 2021 by WWUpdate 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And does anyone know how he and Magers ended up dividing their shifts? I have a ton of articles saved from that time, but they're not too handy right now. Ron and Max were the main 10pm team (possibly at 4:30, but the newcomer was off half the time, anyway), but it didn't last even a year. Max's report card basically said "does not play well with others." He brought his wounded, yet still inflated network ego to a perennial 3rd place station. After Robinson's quick exit, Magers would find respectability and SLIGHTLY higher ratings with Carol Marin & Deborah Norville. If you or anyone else has any other questions about the history of Chicago news, feel free to message me. I've done a ton of casual research.
