KNXT (now KCBS) 11pm newscast- June 1981. A few things to note...

 

  • Not a single live shot. Not that it's a bad thing, just shows the evolution of TV news
  • Weathercaster is off, anchor man reads the weather headlines and temps very briefly at the end of the show
  • Jim Hill, a giant in LA TV news/sports is still going at it to this day.
  • Jess Marlow was another giant. He would leave KNXT to go back to KNBC a few years later
  • Marcia Brandwynne left for KTTV a few years later. She later became the AND at KTLA and was also the EP of the KTLA Morning News for a time as well.
  • Orange County reporter Dave Lopez featured in the clip recently retired, but still active on social media.

KTIV Newscenter 4 intros 1982

 

Love how the 1979 peacock is used in tandem with the 4 on these (both in its native colors on the station ID, and in B/W outline on the actual opens).

 

Also, these openings look much newer than '82, it seems to me.

Kinda like KTIV's version of the Proud N logo. Thier unique take on that NBC 1979-86 logo if you will. You know, where the wireframe N logo is replace with the 4 log at that time.

Other good things:

 

--The announcer had a pretty good opening line/billing on each of these openings, both for the evening edition at 6, and late edition at 10: "In touch with Siouxland, KTIV NewsCenter 4 at 6... with Dave Nixon, Mike O'Connor sports, and Mike Wankum with the weather" (repeat for the late one at 10, just putting 10 in the opening).

 

--Also really liked KTIV's apparent custom Hello News mix of the time, and how the NewsCenter 4 title was at the top of the screen (with Sioux City in the background) for the anchor to preview the top stories, and at the bottom for the announcer's billing of the anchors.
