WCBS 2006. Big visual improvements to graphics and set over 2003-2005. The skyline lookes better than the plain blue backgrop they had for a while. I dont recall this graphics era but it looks good. By 2007 the station would be back on track after going off the rails since about 1996. 

 

EDIT: Dare I say this graphical look is better than their current.

Yes, visuals are decent (not a fan of using Trebuchet as a font) , but that opening theme sounds like a train wreck of multiple cuts…

Some KPRC-TV videos from 1980:

 

Big 2 News Conference (5/4/1980)

https://texasarchive.org/2022_00065?b=0

 

Big 2 News at Ten (8/13/1980; erroneously says from 9/13/80, Hurricane Bonnie mentioned in weather segment was in August)

https://texasarchive.org/2022_00054?b=0

 

Big 2 News (9/14/1980)

https://texasarchive.org/2022_00081?b=0

 

 

KPRC-TV’s newscasts became 2News (said as Channel 2 News on-air) not too long after 9/14/80.

Audio of Dec 31, 1973 KTVU 'Action News'

 

https://californiarevealed.org/do/110a8815-26be-4a63-8d6a-860ee50c28ec

 

KCRA Channel 3 Reports 5pm  12-14-1983 (most...cuts to KOVR at the end) - earliest use of 'where the news comes first' theme I've come across

 

audio is on the 'right' audio channel - 'left' channel is another station (KXTV?). Use the balance control in your settings to hear either one.

Yes the logo at the end DOES look comic-book-like. In fact, this news open almost looks as if this was made for a live action kids show instead of a local newscast
