@teddbear52 Accually The "Live Action Cam" came into effect at this time. 9News took the ball and ran with it and zoomed to the top the news race. You can see one of those trucks in the opening title sequence. KRDO-TV in my hometown of Colorado Springs, Colorado really copied 9News at this time. Of course they were both ABC affilates at the time as well.

What? No Gannett sounder before the 9NEWS open?

@newscaster13 IIRC, the "Gannett sounder", as you call it, didn't come into use until after the call letter change to KUSA in 1984.

@mratfauver Not true. The "Sounder" would be used starting in 1981. Even before they changed their calls to KUSA. KBTV was just recently accquired by Gannett at that time.

@donmccullen "Recently?!" Yeah, right! KBTV's ownership by Gannett predates this clip by a good few months. They've been a member of the Gannett family since 1979.

@mratfauver That is the point Mrafauver. Gannett bought out Combined Communcations in 1979. That sounds pretty recent. I was able to see certain ID Cards and their was a still pick of the Gannett Logo card in use and that would be replaced with the Death Star Sounder soon enough. 9News might have not have all the tools just yet. Certain things don't happen overnight.

@newscaster13 They just brought out the station. They would use the sounder soon enough.
