ChesapeakeTV 310 Posted December 8, 2014 Share Posted December 8, 2014 KNDU, 1999. Notice how much of a carbon-copy of WHEC the station's branding is, right down to voiceover and slogan! 6 PM: 11 PM: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Samantha 2873 Posted December 8, 2014 Share Posted December 8, 2014 Wow. That is one heck of a copy. And they were never sister stations. The 11pm branding to me suggests that it aired on KNDO and KNDU together. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ChesapeakeTV 310 Posted December 8, 2014 Share Posted December 8, 2014 The 11pm branding to me suggests that it aired on KNDO and KNDU together. That would make sense given the lead story. Nobody in the Tri-Cities would care about a shooting in Yakima, and vice versa. More interesting tidbits... A glimpse of WIFR with People You Can Count On...in 1995 (complete with KDLH-alike logo): WOAY 1995, still with News 88 (evidently they were using it with the 1994 theme): Amazingly, they were still using that set in 2001, though it sounds like they had a new theme (snippet of it in the last few seconds): Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sanewsguy 509 Posted December 8, 2014 Share Posted December 8, 2014 WOAY 1995, still with News 88 (evidently they were using it with the 1994 theme): Amazingly, they were still using that set in 2001, though it sounds like they had a new theme (snippet of it in the last few seconds): I believe they still have the same set now, but it's been heavily refreshed. Would be nice if they would at least get a new desk that doesn't scream 80's... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Samantha 2873 Posted December 9, 2014 Share Posted December 9, 2014 KHBS/KHOG reports Kurt Cobain's death, 1994.

Samantha 2873 Posted December 10, 2014 Share Posted December 10, 2014 I thought there couldn't be a worse rendition of the Turn To song than KXLY. Well, I was wrong...thanks to KXLY. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LexTVandRadio 410 Posted December 10, 2014 Share Posted December 10, 2014 I've looked myself but can't find any... Anyone have any or seen openings from WTVQ, WKYT, and/or WLEX 1990-1995? I've got some on YouTube from Mid 90's to Mid 2000's. Thanks Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TheOneManHerd 553 Posted December 11, 2014 Share Posted December 11, 2014 Out of date yes, but i cant help but like that open. Couldn't agree more.

jerseyfla 193 Posted December 14, 2014 Share Posted December 14, 2014 The newscast probably followed Monday Night Football, Monday Night Baseball, or one of the MLB League Championship Series that ABC televised in 1982. I think it was most likely baseball since MNF began at 8PM CT. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Samantha 2873 Posted December 15, 2014 Share Posted December 15, 2014 WTOV early 90s (maybe late 80s) promo featuring music from the "Team to Watch" package: A chunk of KRIS from 1995.

Samantha 2873 Posted December 19, 2014 Share Posted December 19, 2014 WTOC 50th anniversary documentary (44 minutes): It looks like they had the brand "Eleven Country News" in the late 70s. Did they use Home Country? A good 50-minute or so documentary on how news was produced at KAKE in 1989: Commercial real includes elements from KERO in 1988 using Turn To: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jH50on0lwWQ The package was unknown for KERO but should have been known all along as their current website is turnto23.com Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TheOneManHerd 553 Posted December 28, 2014 Share Posted December 28, 2014 Cedar Rapids news from 1993, begins with a KGAN TVbD open with Real News. Speaking of KGAN, here's a brief clip of Bob Hilton anchoring the news (yes, game show fans, that Bob Hilton). Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ChesapeakeTV 310 Posted December 28, 2014 Share Posted December 28, 2014 Looks like there was a certain amount of local tweaking there...not even TVbD's history of mediocre editing can justify the horrible nameline animation. The color scheme doesn't match either. A rather interesting KXLY newsbreak, 1985: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Samantha 2873 Posted December 29, 2014 Share Posted December 29, 2014 KCRA near-full newscast, 1990: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=T56LsiEuMrs As to the KGAN open, given that it was 1993 that looks completely modified. That open animation would probably date to 1988/89. It was used by KMPH and KOTA (which of course held onto it throughout the 90s). Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
