That's pretty bad ass. Margret Radford had 2 pkgs in that cast. Most people don't know that Jack White was the Technical Advisor for the movie Anchorman. White had Co-Anchored with Harold Greene AKA "Ron Burgundy".

 

The OTS's were all on 35mm slides.

 

And Ocean Ave WAS closed to cars for good, it's now part of the Pacific/Mission Beach Boardwalk.

This is repost, but it's worth mentioning that tomorrow will be the 20th anniversary of the deadly Heat Wave of 1995, at which on July 13, the air temperature reached at 104° at O'Hare and 106° at Midway. 739 people parished from this heat. From that dreaded day, here's the 10pm open from Channel 2, and a follow-up report from July 21.

Someone ID'd it to the NMSA as Finish Line by Network Music. WTKR used it on promos in 1991...

 

Added the info to that video. Thanks.

 

NewsActive3's been on a tear with rare newscast uploads of late; including...

 

The first newscast of the ill-fated Harry Reasoner/Barbara Walters team on the ABC Evening News (10-4-76):

 

The first edition of ABC World News Tonight (7-10-78):

 

July 31, 1968 CBS Evening News with Walter Cronkite (from Miami; no doubt in preparation for the Republican National Convention the following week):

 

And from the local side, the December 20, 1981 edition of WPVI's Action News at 11:00:

Whaaaaaat!???! No way!

WKYC in Cleveland also used the "3 for All" campaign with the similar music.

 

Yeah, without seeing Julia Child and the Playhouse Theatre clips, most probably would not have known this is a PBS station.

KARE 1993 11 p.m. I am not a huge fan of the "Newsmark" package, but the closing cut is fantastic and then the Gannett deathstar:

 

 

Funny they never name the fill in weather anchor.

 

Here's KVOA in 1996, one of the later uses of the '84 Gari update to Cool Hand Luke, and you see a very young Savannah Guthrie

Sorry folks but the YT uploader known as PrincessAriel2014 closed its YT account today. He's the guy posted vintage news opens from the internet archive.

 

It appears he's back on YouTube as "SkittlesMan" judging by the WPEC and WPTV 1986 stuff that's once again uploaded.

Late rebroadcast of WAVY 11pm Saturday night news from October 1987:

 

Includes a version of the "You're Covered" promo and the station signoff at the conclusion of the rebroadcast. Also, what was up with the abundance of fuel company ads in the late 80s?

Found these clips from WTIC (pre One and Only) and WTNH (pre "NewsChannel8") circa 96 about the launch of the illfated AlphaStar DTH satellite service:

Also, does anybody have any good copies of the circa 2003 WTIC open, with the fast-paced cut of One and Only and the stopwatch graphics?
