KABC 11PM EYEWITNESS NEWS OPEN - LOS ANGELES, CA - 1989

This unique, long, time-lapse open was used briefly from 1989 to 1990. It departed from the classic "Cool Hand Luke" theme, yet the legendary Ernie Anderson was still in place. A must see!

It seems like all of the most creative opens were used around 1989/1990. This is one of the best.

Felt like Pet Shop Boys "West End Girls" was about to break out.

How did you get these clean opens anyway?

So THAT's what they were talking about when they said that KDKA's open in the 90s was modeled after KABC.

KTRK used this similar open with their logo going forward during their news update briefs back in 1986.

Moing to the rhythm of the city, to the beat of the streets. News, weather, and sports for a city that plays hard, works hard, and moves fast.

So will Bernie, Natasha, and Heath.
