WKYC News Flashback: mid-70s - 2008

A look back at the news opens and talent from more than 30 years at Cleveland NBC affiliate WKYC. The videos are ganked from a number of different YouTube videos, including those from videoholic, cms0678, and news89. If I missed anyone, I apologize in advance. Enjoy!

Thanks. As time permits, I'll put something together for WEWS and WJW/WJKW.

@JmanK2015 Actually, WKYC was directly run by NBC until 1990. They treated the station as a farm team for future network talent (and it showed as WKYC was their lowest-rated and least respected O&O).

@corkscrewfoley good point

@JmanK2015 Would you want to tell people you worked in Cleveland? I wouldn't...

Nice little glimpse of sweet little Amy Hasten. I never knew why she left. I miss her.

Nice job, even though the 1991 open (with Tony Harris) and the 1989 open (with Leon Bibb/Jill Beach) are out of order.

Very, very nice montage. I like the older intros, much more original and creative. I'd say the "You've Got A Friend" one at :53 is my favorite.
