Whatever became of Paul Udell, anyway? I've seen so many clips of him from WNBC, WTHR and WLS.

I actually looked him up for the heck of it...

He served as ND/anchor at KITV in Honolulu for 22 years until his retirement in 2006.

 

http://archives.star...ness/engle.html

He was at KNXT-TV, a CBS station in Los Angeles now known as KCBS; he was an anchor and reporter at WNBC-TV in New York City; he served as an NBC correspondent in Vietnam; returned to anchoring and reporting at WABC-TV in New York City; at WBBM-TV in Chicago; at WTHR-TV in Indianapolis; WTTV-TV in Washington, DC; KHON-TV in Honolulu; WLS-TV in Chicago; and KRON-TV in San Francisco, from whence he returned to Hawaii to work at KITV.

A rather strange early 1990s news theme for TeleOnce in Puerto Rico. Yes, the newscast is sponsored! Note some inconsistency in logos between the tease and open. Some time after (1993-94?) they switched to a TV by Design package and began using Prime News. http://youtu.be/GF-74mDKe60

 

You be the judge. Is this 1988 TeleOnce image song a version of Gari's Say Hello? It might be! It's been redone in Spanish as Pasando lo mejor (Bringing (You) The Best). http://youtu.be/HgLAs29O7Tc

 

A funkier theme for 1981 and WAPA's Noticentro 4:

KCRA 1986 11PM Open and clip

 

 

Poor sound quality but you get the gist. Basically in 1986 they launched this set and added less urgent, more symphonic opening music, but the opening graphics were in an interim state before a full 3D package later in the year.

 

 

And in this clip you get a voiceover promo with part of their 80s package in the background

KPIX Eyewitness News 1982 - story profiling their rise to #1 in the market, some great interviews with the anchors and managers. This team stayed together for another 7 years or so. Some good clips of their opener too.

 

Now their rise to #1 also coincided with the rise of the 49ers, which aired on CBS...but no mention of that.

I found a lot of stuff just in one morning. Some of it's really good, too.

 

WDAF, late 1991. This was an update to the 1989-90 theme that included new graphics. It was out the door by early 1992. http://youtu.be/RDTuOwUrgFU

 

From 2003, KCTV produced this retrospective to celebrate 50 years on the air. Included is a clip (though they speak over it) that proves that the station used Part of Your Life in 1977. http://www.youtu.be/ljGkPb5GLTo

 

From 1979, WTSP's Action News! Complete with blooper and open featuring unknown news theme.

 

One particular news fan has a lot of junk and a lot of treasure on his account. This is some of the news treasure, rescued from the old TVNewsThemes site! WOLF 1993 10pm open:

 

WBNG 1995 weekend open. What's the theme? http://youtu.be/PN_kfeUJOHg
