No one beat the original 3 team, Pat Sheehan, Al Terzi, Hilton and Dave Smith This team started in the mid to late 70's- toe early 80's and no one in CT ever matched them to this date.

I Believe This Was A VIdeo Clip Of WFSB-TV's Channel 3 Eyewitness News At 6 Video Open And Video Close From 1985.

Man the good ole days! Bring this theme back! They dont make em like this anymore! WTNH 8s theme was 2 serious! Dont remember channel 30s and 61s.

HAHAHAH Hilton.. Mr. GULLYWHOMPER himself!!

That's exactly right. i couldn't remember his name, encroaching as I am on geezerdom. Thom Allen. The one and only.

Awesome set!

Supposedly it is Thom Allen, who was a radio personality in Jacksonville in the 1980's. I can't confirm that though. He did v/o's for WJXT, WTSP, WPLG, WFTS, KMOL and WFSB.

Best open in the market!!! Did the old Ampex ADO get a workout in those days? Finally, who did Post Newsweek use for their O&O voiceovers? great voice.

Wait, are you THE John Christopher Burns of TVbD fame?
You are a god of graphic design.

Yeah, well, I got stuck on one theme and used it...yeah, pretty much at WJXT, WDIV, WPLG, and WFSB.
Like D'Ascenzo's old station, WJW, they've also had the "One For All" theme.

WBZ-TV in Boston also used the "One 4 All" package. Someone posted it as:

...is this all you have of the clip, or do you have the entire newscast? consider doing one of those "elements" montages of the newscast shortened to five minutes, showing what the elements looked like. good stuff though!

Unfortunately the person who gave me this had only the open and close. I wish there were more because the I think the set and elements were excellent. I'm told WDIV in Detroit (WFSB's sister-station at that time) had the same set.

Wasn't Denise D'Acsenzo her replacement when she arrived in 1986?

Not directly. Marlene Snyder was the anchor for a short time after Barbara Allen left.
