Here are some bits and pieces taken from a "Late Late Show" (technically, it's the "Late Late Show 2," according to the announcer, meaning the second of two late-night flicks) airing on WCBS channel 2, the CBS flagship in New York City.
I couldn't pinpoint a date, but it's definitely from 1985. The movie before it (on the VHS tape I found it on) was recorded on December 20th, and there's a "Merry Christmas" station identification slide in here, so it's safe to say it was within days of (if not on) the holiday.
First there's a news promo with the tagline, "Because anything can happen in New York." There are many cool scenes of everyday life in the metro area, and Carol Martin is seen on a television (but I can't think of the name of the other reporter seen with her). A "Late Late Show" bump follows, then a title slide, and then the familiar package open.
The opening seconds of the movie go right into a promo with WCBS patting itself on the back for their United Press International award for "best local newscast in the country." Superlative anchors Rolland Smith and Jim Jensen are featured.
"Quincy," the hour-long drama with Jack Klugman as a sleuthing Medical Examiner, was beginning a syndicated run soon, as shown in a cleverly edited promo. The Christmas ID I mentioned, and the title slide again, close out the video.
