KnoxvilleTVFan 285 Posted December 22, 2017 Share Posted December 22, 2017 In 2013, KAIT in Jonesboro celebrated its 50th anniversary. As I post this, the videos from their 50th anniversary are still on the website including some blooper reels. The second blooper reel contains some news opens including opens at 2:23, 4:15 and 4:49 with unknown news themes. http://www.kait8.com/clip/9062834/blooper-reel-two 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

PBC5NewsUnova 65 Posted December 22, 2017 Share Posted December 22, 2017 I'm putting everything out there I can - as I said before - it does absolutely no one any good sitting in my basement! Here's my last compilation post before Christmas - I'm on holiday for about a week, without access to my "stuff"... (I may be able to get 1 or 2 items uploaded before I leave, but no guarantees!) California, May 1993 - about 24 different stations [MEDIA=vimeo]247655678[/MEDIA] Notes: - The KCBS theme is one of my favorites, especially the long close. - I'm not a fan of KNBC's "transitional" open they used for about a year. - Sorry for the quality on KEYT - the feed in the hotel was horrible... - I appreciate Jerry Dunphy's classic staccato "From the desert to the sea to all of Southern California, a good evening" - Not that impressed with the stations in the central valley, save the solid look and feel of KFSN... KTTV 10pm, KEYT 10pm (bad video), KCBS 11pm, KNBC 5:30am, KABC 6am, KTLA 7am, KNBC 5pm, KCBS 6pm (Long Close), KCAL 10pm, KNBC 4pm, KCOP 10pm, KCBS 11pm, KCBS 6am, KNBC 6pm, KCAL 8pm, KCAL 9pm, KTLA 10pm, KMEX 11pm, KGTV 12pm, KNSD 6pm, XEWT 6:30pm, KUSI 10pm, KFMB 12pm, KGTV 5pm, KFMB 6:30pm, KFSN 5pm, KJEO 6pm, KSEE 6pm, KSEE 5pm, KFTV 6pm, KMPH 10pm, KJEO 11pm, KGET 5pm, KFSN 11pm, KERO 11pm, KERO 12pm, KSBY 6pm, KCOY 6:30pm, KBAK 11pm Jim I forgot to mention something...That KFSN news open graphics were ripped straight out of KABC-TV.

Link works fine for me, but I went and saved the audio just in case. First theme is in the NMSA as WDIO/WIRT 1985...and going by this sample, it's tied to the network (note the WNT signature at the start). The other two are entirely new. 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It was redirected to the mobile site so i had to click on the full page site and search the blooper page. I managed to save the other two that you forgot to upload. http://www.kait8.com/clip/9063206/blooper-reel-one http://www.kait8.com/clip/9063768/spoofs-and-more-bloopers 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ToriElectra 291 Posted December 24, 2017 Share Posted December 24, 2017 And I just found something pretty damn unexpected-- awesome-quality footage of WBZ in 97, during their NewsWorks/News 4 New England era, although the opens are chopped up and it appears to have been taken off of WBZ's website (somehow); regardless, it's a nice find (we need more of NewsWorks-era BZ). 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
