compubit 670 Posted October 28, 2017 Share Posted October 28, 2017 Can you upload any WNYT if you have any? As I find stuff from the 90s, I'm uploading. There's some WNYT somewhere in the stacks... I hadn't even noticed the "unique coloring" on the clip... Jim Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TexasTVNews 1366 Posted October 28, 2017 Share Posted October 28, 2017 Jim, If can find KTVT's special program about switch to CBS, as well as more vintage newscast from Houston, San Antonio, Austin (Hopefully KTBC (Pre-FOX)), please post it. Thanks. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Samantha 2876 Posted October 28, 2017 Share Posted October 28, 2017 Whoa, it's some KTSP from November 1, 1982! No open, but it shows the existing KOOL News set with the KTSP sunset 10 logo on monitors and a story with a "TV10 News" end tag. I've asked if he has any more KTSP of this era — this is one of the next big question marks in Phoenix TV. Roger Downey has this KPHO news update from 1985: WBZ Eyewitness News from 1991: ——— As to the KTSP material, it comes from a period of turmoil that is not well documented in existing video. In late 1982, KOOL-TV was sold and became KTSP. It also went through several changes in branding as the new owners, Gulf, sought to overhaul the station's presentation. My old TV Guides give us some idea of the call-letter and logo switch from KOOL to KTSP. This 1981 ad features the long-running KOOL News logo: KOOL announced the callsign switch to KTSP with this ad that ran next to the listings for October 2, 1982: But for some weeks afterward, news ads still featured a modified version of the old logo (minus, of course, the "KOOL News" branding): By late November 1982, the new logo makes an apperance, but the station's news operation is branded "TV10 News" (and Mary Jo West is apparently gone from the station, since neither the ads for the 6 nor the 10 P.M. news mention her): Finally, by January 1983, the "NewsCenter 10" branding, which would survive for the rest of the decade, is in place: Ultimately, it was not until January 3, 1983 that NewsCenter 10 was adopted. "However, on Monday, KTSP-TV will unveil a new news set as well as a new name for its news programs Newscenter 10. The station has been utilizing the name TV 10 News, a stopgap title forced by the dropping of the KOOL News 10 designation when the KOOL-TV call letters fell by the wayside. The Newscenter name is one of a handful, along with Action News and Eyewitness News, that are commonly used by stations around the nation. [bill] Miller said it was chosen because it contained elements of the long-used KOOL News 10 name, "news" and "10." The new set, tan and brown with two pop-up monitors, was designed by a company in San Diego and replaces the two separate sets (newsroom and studio) that the station has used. This set adjoins the newsroom. A consultant from Los Angeles helped in lighting. Total cost of the project is $50,000-plus, a pittance compared to the $1 million the station has spent so far in technical improvements."

KnoxvilleTVFan 285 Posted October 28, 2017 Share Posted October 28, 2017 Here is a WWMT "Hello" promo recorded sometime in the 1990s. The promo features Florence Warner as she sings an updated version of "Hello West Michigan". You may remember her doing a promo from WEWS as she was seen on-camera doing a 30-second version of "Catch 5" in a promo. Hope you enjoy. What about a choir version of WWMT's "Hello West Michigan"? We have that. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
compubit 670 Posted October 28, 2017 Share Posted October 28, 2017 Orlando from 20 years ago! WCPX prior to call sign change and a fairly rare newscast on WRBW (from WFTV)... WRBW (Orlando) May 12, 1997 10:00pm [MEDIA=vimeo]240312612[/MEDIA] WFTV (Orlando) May 12, 1997 11:00pm [MEDIA=vimeo]240312255[/MEDIA] WCPX (Orlando) May 15, 1997 6:00pm [MEDIA=vimeo]240311939[/MEDIA] Again folks, as I find stuff, I post it. Right now, I'm focusing on getting the 20+ year old newscasts. Once I get to the 2000s, I've got tons, and it will take some time just in uploading stuff (just the real time converting and uploading the files takes a while - and I have a full-time+ job and am taking a class in the evenings). I'm going to start linking everything off of a web-site - which will probably become my "Classic Newscast Museum". Once I get stuff posted (and a standard page format developed), I'll let everyone know... Jim 8 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Samantha 2876 Posted October 28, 2017 Share Posted October 28, 2017 Orlando in the 90s could have been called Vance-lando — both WFTV and WCPX were using E.Q. Vance packages. Speaking of which, a very eagle-eyed viewer of the 11pm video might have caught this... We're Going Where You're Going — a variant of this image campaign I have never seen! 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hmaxhanson 650 Posted October 28, 2017 Share Posted October 28, 2017 The first 8 minutes or so of WXII's news from September 29, 1985 with an unknown theme, could it be related to their "Count On Us" image campaign from back then? https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=id=1blakjbyos0;m=27;s=8 There's also an update in the video with the same theme: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=id=1blakjbyos0;m=18;s=41 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Fun fact: Close actually approached KTVK looking for a job in 1982. They rejected his offer! 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jess 1110 Posted October 29, 2017 Author Share Posted October 29, 2017 NewsActive3 just uploaded some classic, classic Roger Grimsby/Bill Beutel stuff from 1978. Earliest full newscast I've seen with both of them. As with all classic WABC stuff... PUMP IT INTO MY VEIIIIINS. EDIT: Oh, man, it begins with a Milt Lewis report! It just can't get any better than that! 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

KTVK did hire his erstwhile co-anchor, Mary Jo West, a short time later (1983?). I believe she stayed with the station until the beginning of the NewsChannel 3 era (1986).

I clicked on the link to the E.Q. site and for some reason the Broadcast Package Samples and Animation Demo and they didn’t show up. Also they said their first client was WFAA - was this a one-off package or are they talking about this? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
