Vintage Phoenix News Clips on YouTube

[Raymie]

Oh yeah. You want Phoenix news opens (and a couple from Tucson) from the late 1990s? A movement to stop bilingual education has your ticket. Much of this is from KPHO's First News era and KNXV in 2000. This WILL generate a new NMSA entry for sure.

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=KdqNFFFBRmA (KPHO-TV 5 News at 5, 1998 – with KPNX footage. The open is related to the WJXT 1999 open.)
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=HTfC6o4BiVE (KPHO TV 5 News at Noon, 2000)
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=g77bszTM4-s (12 News AM, 2000)
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=cRqAnbY_034 (News 15, 2000...the music cut from what appears to be their "open" is the NMSA's WKJG 1995 News Theme, a cut of production music)
http://www.youtube.com/profile?user=English4Children#p/u/30/VxFmdG8JTdI (News 15, 2000...earlier in the year than before)
http://www.youtube.com/profile?user=English4Children#p/u/28/z08TSHYHw-U (Fox 10 News at 6, 2000)
http://www.youtube.com/profile?user=English4Children#p/u/41/0hicAikKTSs (KPHO CBS 5 News at 6, 1998/9 – the title of the newscast changed during the use of this open set?)
http://www.youtube.com/profile?user=English4Children#p/u/17/9GX75pIQE6s (KPHO TV 5 Morning News, late 2000)

http://www.youtube.com/profile?user=English4Children#p/u/29/yC4U4vZoUhA (KVOA-4 EWN Sat AM, 2000)
http://www.youtube.com/profile?user=English4Children#p/u/42/LyOng2M2oTs (KVOA-4 EWN 6pm, 1998)

http://www.youtube.com/profile?user=English4Children#p/u/15/x8V--CwzCTk (KPNX 12 News at 11am, late 2000)

http://www.youtube.com/profile?user=English4Children#p/u/37/FMZ71ysnk14 (KSAZ Face the State, 1999 – though the graphics, name, and music are definitely pre-Fox and pre-KSAZ calls (see Jim Heath collection))

Not from Arizona, but still new-ish:

NewsActive3's news open collection has expanded yet again, and there are three Phoenix opens in a very quirky collection:

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=j6KYm2y0l-s

Blink after the KATC open and you might miss the very short ABC News 15 at Ten open from 1995-96 (or so).

And at 2:18 in the clip, get ready for a time warp to 1992, when KTSP had just commissioned a major station rebrand, dropped NewsCenter 10, and began using 615's Pinnacle (in what would be its final two years under that callsign). There is a lot of good time-lapse photography of Phoenix, actually. Stay tuned for a one-minute long, unforgettable circa-1990s San Francisco weather promo after the KTSP opens!

KTVK, 10PM, 1988:

There are even more Phoenix news bones to pick:

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5N0FgrCIhmg (2:05): "News 5 is a part of the past, the present, and the future of Arizona" – 1988 news promo for the Downey/Turley/Cochran team. "Weekdays at 11:30 and every night at 9:30." Also: a riveting KTSP news promo (they once sent their correspondents throughout the world!?) and Diane Ryan newsbreak (she's still there!)

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=SYKangZqJeU (8:15): KNXV News 15 at 10, January 1, 2002 (with odd news theme)

Cameron Harper evidently made a second layover in Phoenix between his KTVT and WPTY stints. The dating is easy: "Happy New Year", Bin Laden news stories, and (on the L3 at the end of the KNXV clip) not News 15, but ABC 15 News (which they adopted TV by Design gave them and WMAR a major refresh later in the year). The NMSA now is missing three different news themes for KNXV.

Also contains a 10-second KVOA news open at 0:30.

I don't know if anyone else posted this already, but I found it rather amusing:

I actually like this older promo for KPNX:

...which is similar to this:

...and I'm not sure how many other stations this.

That was a successful promotional campaign from Gari Communications, used by local stations in the US and Canada.

Here is the audio of the version that I heard as a teenager, from WOKR 13 Rochester NY (now WHAM-TV), as posted by Philip Dampier.  Unfortunately, he didn't have the video that went with the promo.  A crawl lists the numerous stations that used the "Hello News" campaign.

The crawl mentions a Canadian station, but no Australian ones, even though the campaign was fairly popular Down Under.

Here's an example from Melbourne:

I spent a summer at ASU in the early 80's and definitely remember the "Hello Phoenix/Arizona" campaign on 12 (KPNX).  Back at my college in Providence, RI, channel 12 (WPRI) had the "Hello Rhode Island" campaign.  Being originally from Seattle, none of the stations there adopted the "Hello" theme.

Videoholic's clip of KTVK from its Total News era (1978, to be precise) is no longer on YouTube, but it's available on DailyMotion:
