Ntropolis 593 Posted March 22, 2014 Share Posted March 22, 2014 Now that I'm hearing this this morning I completely agree that this is Stephen Arnold. But how did an Arnold package from the 90s manage to go undercover for so long? I bet we're talking about a "WCSC Custom News Package" here. Not to mention the relationship between the Jefferson-Pilot stations and Arnold, with WBTV and WWBT both using Signature during that time. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TServo2049 81 Posted March 24, 2014 Share Posted March 24, 2014 Wow, very intrigued. BTW, before anyone says anything, Audio Video Recorders is the name of the studio it was recorded at, not the company that produced it. So we still don't know who composed/produced it - though it certainly couldn't hurt to ask the person who put it up if he might know...

This guy, however irregular his uploads are, has been one of the best sources for Phoenix material we've ever had. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No. This Jim has worked at KYMA, WPDE and WBNS (in that order). He's a Phoenix native. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TServo2049 81 Posted March 27, 2014 Share Posted March 27, 2014 There's another clip of WXIA from January of 1982 and they are using "Hello News". This appears to be the earliest use of it. Judging by the general trends of when TV stations change things up, I would be willing to guess that Hello News debuted on WXIA on January 1, 1982. As for the revamped "electronic" version of Hello News, I am guessing it debuted with the new logo some time in 1983. Possibly even on New Year's Day 1983 - it was definitely before September, because there is another clip elsewhere on YouTube The Hello News chronology seems to be falling into place. The "New Standard and Tradition" theme most likely ran from September 1, 1980 (with the switch to NBC) until January 1, 1982. Then the original "Hello News" would have run from 1/1/82 to (at least) 1/1/83, and at some point in '83 the logo and theme changed (probably simultaneously). It's great to see footage like this surfacing - for a long time, there seemed to be a black hole between "In Tune with Atlanta" during early 1980, and the 1984 CG intro with the updated Hello News...

WWUpdate 1290 Posted March 27, 2014 Share Posted March 27, 2014 BTW, that's the same chopper -- N123TV -- as seen in this 1985 promo from KTVK's Eyewitness News era: In 1996 or thereabouts, this chopper was replaced by N613TV, which was lost in that 2007 mid-air collision with KNXV's chopper.

compubit 670 Posted March 28, 2014 Share Posted March 28, 2014 Was this the same Jim who ran tvnewsthemes.net about a decade or so ago? Nope. I ran tvnewsthemes.net when I had a little more free time (technically still do, but haven't updated in ages). (Plus I have a lot more content to post and trade....) I'be been thinking about an update, now that I'm settled in the DC area. Also thinking about a Roku private channel for some newscasts (particularly HD), since I have a new hosting site with lots of storage and no bandwidth caps (and blistering Internet vs. what I had in Houston) J Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

johnnya2k6 171 Posted March 29, 2014 Share Posted March 29, 2014 Boy, radioman1968 these last couple of weeks has been unearthing a lot of Atlanta TV gems, including this one from WAGA in 1980 detailing that in light of the WSB/WXIA network swap, they stayed put with CBS...well, for at least 14 more years: [yt]BPYyZextqTM[/yt] And while we're at it...

Samantha 2876 Posted March 29, 2014 Share Posted March 29, 2014 Headline News promo, 1988: — The "Headline Sports" snippet features the voice of anchor Don Harrison (who spent a bunch of time at KCMO/KCTV and WTSP then did VO work for Turner, WFLA and WCSC). And here's Don's video obituary from a decade later. He had the Georgia vanity plate "VOICES": Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
