A look at television newscasts and newscast branding elements (opens/promos etc.), past and present. This mainly concerns local TV stations, broadcast, and cable networks in North America. Broadcasters outside of North America are sometimes included.
Some non-news-related material, such as station identification and station promotion, has been thrown in as well.

went on a rabbit hole watching a ocean gate video, to the french navy guy called mr titanic to his wife Michele marsh who was died in 2017 to this video which like 2 years before my birth, feb 1992, makes you wonder, we'll all die, no one remembers any of this, everyone fades away in 200 years, nothing really matters,nothing is permanent, that only thing that is permanent is impermanence. i highly doubt youtube will exists for ever or any comments here, so i might as well as be commenting this into the void, but to whomever reading this, go out have fun while it lasts.
I think if Murrow could see what some Television News has become today (pathways to spread misinformation, conspiracy theories, and outright lies) - he would prefer that it had remained 'merely wires and lights in a box'.
On this day, November 18th 1968, how many 20 year old conscripts got their heads blown off in Vietnam? However many it was Vietnam was only worth 3 minutes of time on this broadcast.
The Mets Mets be the first major professional sports team in Brooklyn since the dodgers left, but there have been professional sports in Brooklyn since 1957 and before the Nets. The Brooklyn cyclones minor league baseball team qualifies of course, and I know there was an Brooklyn dodgers professional football team in 1966, with Jackie Robinson as general manager, in the old Continental football League.
I was 10 and my dad was an Eastern 727 pilot based out of JFK and scheduled to land around that time at JFK. We never knew his exact schedule, flight # or even what route he was on. I didn’t that day until the news broke and my mom started crying and told us he was due home in a couple of hours, meaning same approx landing time. We thought for sure it was his flight. He flew the New Orleans route a lot and may have been that day on a later flight-not certain about that but we didn’t know. He called from the airport an hour or so later to let us know he was safely on the ground. We were incredibly relieved. He’d seen the wreckage from the air and had flown with several crew members including the captain. He got home a couple of hours later, gave us all a hug and went straight to bed. I had never seen him shaken like that and never did again.
I flew out of Kennedy that same night. I was 8 years old and going to Budapest, but I was flying to Luxemburg from Kennedy to catch a two-day bus ride to my final destination. I turned on the news before leaving for the airport. I told my mother and stepfather, and they yelled at me for making stupid jokes when they were nervous enough to let me fly by myself for the first time. We were delayed about six hours, not because of this crash but because heavy rain and thunder came back in if I remember correctly.
Jimmy Carter speaks the truth of our now "president" if you want to call him that..... 4:40 Funny how the Democrats of that time are a far cry from today's Democrats.
The amazing Bette Davis sees a lot of herself in Deborah Winger!!!! What!!!! Seriously Bette!! She was just trying to plug the “new actress” or something I’d say.
Jerry Dunphy, one of the last MEN. He would be embarrassed at todays news. This woman interviewing him is a total dipshit. Women like her are why women were not welcome in certain fields. What a crow.
It's interesting to note that the flight originated from New Orleans. I point this out because 7 years after this crash, another 727 belonging to Pan Am also became a victim of microburst while taking off FROM New Orleans.
Notice that during this time, only ABC had a theme song for their news broadcasts. Hey, NBC had Chet and David, CBS had Walter Cronkite, what more do you need?
Poor Wili Moku doing fast food commercial......he lost both legs and died young from what he said was a plate lunch diet for years...he said he never listened to his doctors when he first got diabetes...
