Samantha 2876 Posted March 7, 2014 Share Posted March 7, 2014 IIRC, that theme was also used as production music. We'd have to see an open to know. That's correct: the NMSA lists three cuts of 615's On Your Side as being placed into production libraries. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ntropolis 593 Posted March 7, 2014 Share Posted March 7, 2014 That's correct: the NMSA lists three cuts of 615's On Your Side as being placed into production libraries. I'd imagine that would have been years after that WTSP clip though... at that point (1992) it was still being used on WKRN. Guess we'll have to wait and see if it was ever used on their newscasts. Also a side note on that clip, anyone think the part of the cut at :39 sounds a lot like WWL News? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Samantha 2876 Posted March 7, 2014 Share Posted March 7, 2014 KGW 5pm open, 1998. The John Christopher Burns package had been supplemented by an impressive 3D open that would look good even today: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PQkwfL1OpbI The ad at 1:01 is voiced by an unknown VO talent that did KXAS in the 80s and early 90s, plus some other stations such as WSLS.

bmasters1 377 Posted March 7, 2014 Share Posted March 7, 2014 [yt]6BlOOHrbCvI[/yt] Go to the 1:59 mark. You'll see an opening from WAAY in Huntsville, AL that for the longest time, we only heard in an audio clip. It's the first opening of the then-new 31 Eyewitness News from 6/12/79. I always wondered what this looked like, as a matter of fact. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Samantha 2876 Posted March 7, 2014 Share Posted March 7, 2014 The guy seems to be the originator of all the 70s/early 80s Alabama material that was then copied onto other tapes that, for instance, NewsActive3 had. Not all of it was in the collection, though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KnoxvilleTVFan 285 Posted March 7, 2014 Share Posted March 7, 2014 Found 2 rare news clips from Macon, GA and they both include news opens: - WMAZ 1984 clip of a story about gambling at the police FOP lodge (open is at 1:26), also included is a WGXA clip of the news story with open at 10:44. - WGXA 1983 clip of Macon police chief Ray Pope's termination (open is at :31, features former WFLA "Daytime" host, Dave Nemeth) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TServo2049 81 Posted March 7, 2014 Share Posted March 7, 2014 The guy seems to be the originator of all the 70s/early 80s Alabama material that was then copied onto other tapes that, for instance, NewsActive3 had. Not all of it was in the collection, though. Yes, NewsActive3 specifically acknowledges C.A. Lee III in the video containing those Alabama/Florida clips. Some of the Orlando clips also showed up on an earlier iteration of Roger Simmons' site (back when it had video clips). It's clear that Mr. Lee has been around since the early days of tape trading - because while he was the person who circulated the clips, they still originated from other unknown people (even Lee's versions are several generations removed from the original recordings).

10Viewer 319 Posted March 8, 2014 Share Posted March 8, 2014 WBNS 1984 "People You Can Count On" jingle spot: I have no idea if this is related to the theme used by WCHS/KTNV from the '80s. I wouldn't be surprised if Otis Conner might be responsible for the WBNS theme. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TServo2049 81 Posted March 8, 2014 Share Posted March 8, 2014 Yes, that's the Roger Tallman theme. He won a regional Emmy for it. And I've confirmed with him over phone/email that he didn't do the KTNV/WCHS theme; the "WBNS 1983" theme is the one Tallman did. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Great to see Ron Magers, it's rare to see his later work at NBC5 (he hasn't missed a best since). I always forget that Maurice DuBois was at WFLD, especially with the mustache.

Samantha 2876 Posted March 13, 2014 Share Posted March 13, 2014 And some fresh stuff from Jacky: a with 615's Power News and an unknown theme for this open. A open from the "Stay In Touch With 10" series, very late in the run. The top story, a Sarasota circus performer dies in Hialeah, Florida, dates this to April 17, 1988. A (love the logo with the shape of Minnesota in negative space) and a . A WRCB 1996 "Walls and Balls" open. For more Chattanooga, at one minute in the background music in the WDEF newsbreak in this video is TuesdayC, which was unknown for WDEF. And to round it out, a cut of Newsleader you *haven't* heard before in ! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
