WTVC 1994 Midday Open

This starts with what is possibly the longest pre-show tease ever.. not produced by WSVN. This is from the fall of 1994. You'll notice a quick bit of a promo with MaryEllen Locher...she passed away a few years ago from cancer.

@DerrickLee2006 When do you upload the whole WRCB newscast?

[1983parrothead]

I have the closing version of this with one of its commercials.

And they (WTVC) is using the same circle-9 as KMBC. Not sure who had it first; I think KMBC started using it in '82 or '83.

Every station owned by Gannett, including WCSH, now uses the new music and Pyburn-like graphics package as of September of 2008.

[hztreenut]

sadly true- but, even though they used that package for over 20 years, i'm starting to like the new one- YOu're way out in Detroit- how did you know?

[bigvoice313]

Not no more. WCSH uses "Gannett News Music Package" by Rampage Music NY.

[DerrickLee2006]

I have almost an entire WRCB newscast from 1998. However, the audio is low.

Oh and the theme they use is "The Great News Package" by Gari Media Group.

If I get a chance, I will upload it onto Youtube once I get some capturing equipment.

[DerrickLee2006]

He is also their investigative reporter too.

btw, 2 years after this, WTVC changed their main intro theme to what is now used today. of course the theme does get updated each year or so

[DerrickLee2006]

Marcia Kling is still at WTVC as is Calvin Sneed and Bill Race.
