My apologies. Thought he had forgotten.

I take it according to these two clips, this might be the work of a tv-dx antenna channel pickup.

No worries. I don’t think I have anything else from Columbia to upload, but I have a few mid-90s era clips from WCBD, WCIV, WTAT and WLOS to come.

ABC 20/20, broadcast of Friday, May 25, 1990; 20/20 title on backdrop is from the 1989 titles, but the actual opening is one that I thought had started in the fall of 1990 (turns out, the 1989 titles didn't even last a full season on that ABC newsmagazine, and the titles were overhauled by the time of this May 1990 broadcast [Bob Cruz's announcement is the same as it was on the previous titles, though]).

Here are a couple of vintage WWL clips, beginning with a complete 10 PM newscast from Feb. 6, 1990:

Here's an open to a 10 PM newscast from Sept. 30, 1989 - shortly before the set and graphics from the above clip were fully implemented along with the first generation of Stephen Arnold's "WWL News" theme package:

WJAR went into their news archives and dug up a rarity that lasted just 5 months... the WLWC TV 28 News at 10!

 

 

 

It appears the WLWC newscast faced the same fate as the WTKR-produced 10pm newscast on WGNT after being acquired by Paramount - they didn't want news on their O&O stations.

WXII Hello Peidmont promos, 1980

 

 

 

Nice graphic at the end with the tractor, tobacco growing and the spinning textile wheel. If that doesn't scream "Piedmont", I don't know what does.

Why would that be the case?

9/11 coverage from Knoxville, TN

Cool to see coverage of that tragic day from smaller markets. At first I questioned why they would name a newscast "volunteer news".... until I realized it was Tennessee's nickname.

 

I also hardly hear southern accents when I see news clips from the south,  presumably because the talent might be plants from out of state as reporters tend to move through markets.
