Classic Video Thread (pre-2008)

July 1, 1991 WNCT newscast (missing the last few minutes due to the tape running out). To my knowledge this is the earliest extended footage from the Greenville-Washington-New Bern area of North Carolina and is probably one of the few clips of a 1990s version of the standard version of Turn to News (as opposed to a custom version like WVEC was using during this time, if I remember correctly WNCT was one of the last stations to use that theme)

(p.s., is there a way to embed Vimeo videos - similar to how YouTube videos can be embedded?)

From 1986, In memory of Two FBI Agents who were killed in Sunrise, FL today. We send our condolences to their families. 35 years ago a similar tragedy occurred in sunniland, on WSVN presented a special regarding the tragedy and WTVJ's original newscast from that day.

Returning to the WFLD uploads, this was a promo for their 32 on Location segments of their newscasts airing later that night (November 16, 1986); in this case a look at inner city schools in the Windy City 

 

 

If the clip is from 1986, it wouldn't have been a segment on WFLD's newscasts, which didn't start until the summer of 1987, but rather a standalone program.

A rare 1980s open from KTIE in Ventura Country:

Also from L.A.: a partial segment of News at Ten from July 1991. Includes a promo and a report on the launch of KTLA Morning News, that aired for the first time the following day.


Plus, some excerpts of WRDW's weekend newscasts from 1997-98 (includes opens, close and Image News as the theme! 😍)

Fixed it for you. Sloan reuploaded for some reason. 

 

WNBC News 4 New York 5/17/1990, the day 2 giants in entertainment died in Sammy Davis Jr + Jim Henson. Solemn cold open but led to fantastic VO intro + theme. As usual, Chuck + Sue at the helm.
