An interesting 1982 close from WGN in Chicago with the credits given by the announcer:

 

 

The set is a slightly modified version of the one seen in this 1980 clip, when WGN's news aired at 10 p.m. and was using NewsNine branding:

And here's Kalber's 1976 farewell from WMAQ (featuring Jane Pauley and goodbye messages from other Chicago news teams):

 

 

 

Here's Kalber's second and final Chicago farewell -- on the occasion of his 1998 retirement from WLS:

Gonna give you some Tulsa:

Ever wanted to know where Richard Hull went after Cincinnati?

 

Tulsa news Fourth of July, 1986

 

KJRH had been using Hello as late as 1986....

 

....and by September (not August) was using Image Leader. Must’ve coincided with Jerry Webber getting main anchor.

WBBM's 2008 farewell to its historic studios -- among other things, the site of the Nixon-Kennedy debate and one of the first newsroom sets. Lots of great footage in this report:

 

 

 

 

And this is what the first newscast from the new streetside studio looked like:

***RARE*** Here is CBS News offering election coverage back in 1974.
 


You can also go to https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCVTQ7Jdm8_6L3RxH3_EAGMQ to check out the great stuff this person has uploaded.

Was just coming to mention that the owner of that channel has been on a tear in terms of uploads over the last couple of days. 

 

Side note: I saw a snippet of the set CBS used for their election coverage and that must have been the debut for that set (haven't seen anything from CBS outside of the Republican convention in Kansas City for 1976; but CBS would continue using the set through the 1980s before, based on a short clip in a commercial compilation I saw a while back, switching to almost a prototype of the 1991-96 CBS Evening News set for election coverage)

Huh, didn't realize she'd worked there too. At KPHO she was teamed with Fred Powers (real name Fred Fife), who was himself an ex-KTVXer (he used his real name in SLC but was apparently made to change it by KPHO staff).

Really? Just because of a rerun show? What the Fife?

WTHR, weekend 1997. Lexington viewers will recognize the meteorologist.

Sticking to KJRH, a look back at the station’s 65th. Highlights include the logo at the time of the call letter change, glimpses of former news sets and opens, and Jerry Webber’s predecessor before switching to news, Sam Jones:
