This short presentation was shown to advertisers to drum up ad sales for Newsplus, which debuted on August 6, 1979. You can watch the full broadcast here: • KTXL NewsPlus - first ...
This sales presentation was edited on 3/4" tape, and as a result it looks a bit cruddy, with lots of ringing. I present it here for historical value.
Pete Wilson went on to fame and fortune in San Francisco, first at KGO, then to KRON, then back to KGO. He passed away in 2007.
The voiceover in this presentation was provided by the station's operation manager, Cal Bollwinkel, though the very first line sounds like it was lifted from something voiced by Ernie Anderson.
The NewsPlus theme music is "Gauchos" by Lala Schifrin, from the 1978 album "Gypsies."
