KATU teasers 1996. Note the really cool Spirit update that KATU was using at this time. The package is more extensive than I knew it to be: http://www.youtu.be/rb9ZCF0cOLg

 

You've seen it before: KPDX's Millennium 3 open. Well, here it is again. 1998. I believe the designer is Rude Honey. http://www.youtu.be/9xK1K3oK7SM

 

A KGW update from 1983, with the original NewsCenter theme: http://www.youtu.be/mnXlPfAjOug

 

Some open collections compiled by a user. All are from the same late 1989 time frame into early 1990.

 

. Note the 6pm KTVU open, with the mysterious KDFW-WKBD-WGAL news theme. Other great stuff.

. What is the KING 5 news theme?

. The real good ones are the WSB Nightbeat open with a special cut of their 1989 news theme and what I believe is the original open to WGNX's 10pm news.

 

And dig this

open!

San Diego (and more!)

 

There's KUSI promos, etc. in this tennis tournament video. More tennis than news opens this time: http://archive.org/d...obacco_sgq23e00

 

KNSD c.1992. Some sort of town hall program called Third Thursday. Unusually for the Archive, commercials are included throughout! The package is Groove News; open about a minute in and bumpers at 13:00. http://archive.org/d...obacco_xwx27a00

 

KGTV's Inside San Diego (about 30 seconds in) from the TV by Design era: http://archive.org/d...obacco_xty27a00

 

More Virginia Slims: here's a Dallas montage: http://archive.org/d...obacco_nfq23e00 — includes the KDFW open to Sunday Sports Page (production music?) and some other stuff that has been seen.

 

Miami: http://archive.org/d...obacco_wfq23e00 — What is Instant Replay Teleclip? There's decent stuff here, but many partial opens.

 

More Miami, this time WSCV from 1992 (at 6pm and at 11pm). This is the same look that KTMD had that year 1991 5pm theme, but it's difficult to identify because the samples are so tightly trimmed. This theme was previously not known to be used by WSCV. http://archive.org/d...obacco_bxv27a00

Charleston-Huntington West Virginia various, 1985. The WSAZ theme is And You. The WCHS theme is called "People You Can Count On" and is a news and image package.* WOWK is using the Action News Theme.

 

 

*Known to have been used at

and WBRZ Baton Rouge. Image campaign samples exist from both (follow the links). There's also a
from KTNV that is used here to identify the theme. This WCHS 1987 station ID shows that they used the slogan into their ABC days.

 

Other new finds. Asterisks indicate unknown or new themes.

 

WETM, 1990*

*

(different from above copy; has CGI cars like the WILX open)

(Palmer; TVbD)
