That WLEX morning one has the sun coming up similarly to the old "Sunday Morning" opening w/Charles Kuralt, only this one is orange and expands to fill the screen.
I also like the V/O on that WSPA one: "This is Eyewitness News Nightwatch...with Allen Denton, Amy Marsh, Accu-Weather with Jack Roper, Pete Yanity with sports, and the Eyewitness News team."
That KYW Philly "EWN" opening must be from early '86, as the "Evening Magazine" promo tagged to it has 3's ID w/NBC's "Proud N" on it; NBC would not shed those extra feathers until mid-year, IIRC (or was it late in the year?).
Also, speaking of "EWN," digging that old WSPA opening when it was still like that (also noticed that it had Amy Wood before she was Amy Wood; she was Amy Marsh then).
OMG. The KGTV open is just pure bliss for me. That just gives me goosebumps when i hear the music, see the gfx because i would run from anywhere in my house just to sit down and watch the news.
WJBK open seems to be from ~1987-1988.

Great with the WOLO open. I've never seen any old stuff from that station.

Hi Archive.org is pretty daunting could you possibly provide me way to get to these newscasts there?

@bmasters1981 The WSPA music sounds likes it goes to their slogan at the time... listen closely for "in the center of it all"

Good job! I like how there were very little repeats (except for that one from WLEX). Well done. :)
