BTW, you may have noticed the slogan "The Place With More Stuff" in the open. Here's KTVK's promo campaign from roughly this period (introduced in 1996):

Before Jim Heath dumped his collection of old Phoenix news opens, that guy had most everything that we had from Phoenix. He has a KPHO promo on there with Scott Chapin's voiceover (in Phoenix, big voiceover names never really caught on with the exceptions of Charlie Van Dyke, Brian Lee and David Kaye – no John Young or Doc Morgan, and John B. Wells, Paul Turner, and Scott had short stints with local stations).
