You must had a good VCR for that resolution, because in the NC5 open, you see the video being cued up (or was playing) after the animation dyed down on the right. I just noticed after a year I last saw this clip.

Btw: Dawn Fratangelo was a hottie with a capital H in her younger years (even at WNBC). By the time she went onto /Dateline/ she lost her really beautiful looks!

Most times when you see these VHS tapes here, digitized, you are seeing the 'actual entire frame'- which is a larger frame than viewable on a TV set.

This image was there when broadcast, just not seen on a TV set.

See some of my TV-38 break clips .

The graphics are usually not as wide (left-to-right) as the video being run behind it.

Nice compilation! 18 years later, those graphics still hold up.

Also, what's "Good Day!"?

[MSTS1]

'Good Day!' was a WCVB mid-morning, lite-news-entertainment-talk show hosted by Eileen Prose into the 1990's.

As I recall, it originates at least as far back as 1974. Back then, it was hosted by the late John Willis and also by Janet Langhart (who later married Maine Senator Bill Cohen), and was originally called 'Good Morning!'.

I still have on file a 'Good Morning!' logo article from that era (1974-75), given to me by the station back then.

By the time of this clip, WCVB re-ran it overnite.

How come the video gfx affect 95% of the screen, while one side features the live anchor shot?

[MSTS1]

The cameras and videotape are covering the full-field, and the overlaid graphics are set to a smaller field, perhaps to keep text from running out of frame(?). On a TV screen, all of these edges bleed off and are unseen. You are looking at the full-field video here when watching any of these on YouTube.

I dig the totally 80s news music.

[VaultMasterDBT]

Eileen Prose (as seen in the bumper here) replaced Janet Langhart around 1982 on the program full-time when the latter went off to WNEV for a while. However, Langhart would return to WCVB a year or two later in other roles.

[JimmySand9]

It is.

Is that Charlie O'Donnell, who is the announcer on Wheel of Fortune, providing the voiceover at the end of the Academy Awards?

[dgendvil]

The Tri state lottery numbers look a local phone number, without an area code on it.

I don't watch Dateline...however, I do know Stone Phillips for some reason.
