Houston Cares For You. KTRK-TV Channel 13 (1983).

[@HoustonTVHistory]

Perhaps short lived, but I FINALLY have found the short lived Live at Five open that was used for maybe a year or two around 1986-87. Something no one has ever uploaded from what I recall from the 2001 graphics package is the initial branding for the 4PM newscast which was originally called "Now @ 4:00" and only lasted a few months, if that. Will eventually have to upload both as time allows.

Looking forward to seeing it.

Channel 13. KTRK-TV. We Care About Texas (1995).

[@ChristopherF61976]

Welcome back, S BEN! We missed you the last few months! Can't wait to see your updated news opens video of Chicago sister station WLS!

[@sben3173]

Yes! Thank you for your support!

KTRK-TV, abc13, Houston, is a Mickey Mouse Operation. (The Walt Disney Company is the parent company ABC and ESPN).

The new Eyewitness News font is way too generic, and I think any of the old graphics were a lot better than the new ones.

[@Noahvis4]

It is very generic since ABC7 Chicago uses the same graphic template as ABC13 even the font looks similar. Hope KABC7 keeps their graphics same

[@John-bs5ug]

@@Noahvis4 Yeah, it's such a downgrade and KABC's graphics are a lot better done than these are. The new graphics look like someone tried to emulate an app/website with a lot of swiping, loading dots, and task-bar style info on transitions. I even saw a graphic that said "Chicago" and another with an ABC7 logo on KTRK!

With WJBK and WXYZ in Detroit turning 75 this year, will you be posting any updated news opens?
