1:24 in or so... I can imagine Don Pardo with the introductional v/o for NEWS 4 NEW YORK at that hour.

[@Lynchfan88]

All these diff Channel 3 openings! Some I remember, some I don't, all interesting though. So many of diff anchors and desk people. I think the only one consistent the last 15 years is Hollie Strano.

[@Shawninlakewood]

I miss some of these tv anchors. I wonder where they went?

[@chuckers40]

Doreen Gentzler came to my home station WRC-TV (NBC4) in Washington, DC. She's nearing 30 years at the station.

[@Lafayette320]

Too bad gorgeous Doreen Gentzler wasn't on air of any of these video's when she was co-anchor. I had the honor of lighting this goddess's cigarette at the bar/restaurant which was on the southeast corner of Superior Ave. at East 6th St.! Anyone recall the name of that bar? There was another one behind the Standard Building. It was great seeing a couple of glimpses of the beautiful, well built Little Strano!

[@chuckers40]

The first intro reminds me of WBAL TV 11 in Baltimore, MD.Back then TV 11 was Action News. The 90's one at about 3:30 is WBAL-TV 11 in Baltimore and WGAL-TV 8 in Lancaster/Harrisburg/York PA

[@gregsells8549]

That first info also reminds me of WFTV 9 in Orlando, FL.

[@michaeleasterwood6558]

Doug Adair,man a name from the past

[@thisguyhere6641]

Even though he was known well as the voice of movie trailers, it was not a bad gig for somebody like Don LaFontaine to be the voice of newscasts for stations like WKYC Channel 3 in Cleveland!

[@iamnomad101]

I have to admit: despite the fact they're essentially integrated ads, the animation during the sponsor bumps and the HD opens with "The Tower" look really damn impressive. Gannett should've had the WKYC graphics department produce their standardized graphics packages.

WKYC, the NBC affiliate in Cleveland OH, is owned by Tegna Inc. WKYC is the sister station to CBS affiliate WTOL and Fox affiliate WUPW in Toledo, CBS affiliate WBNS in Columbus and NBC affiliate WGRZ in Buffalo NY.

[@iamnomad101]

Some music info: - The open at 5:38 uses the morning open of "Impact V.1," while the one after it uses the noon open. - The talent bumper at 6:28 uses the talent open from "The Tower V.1." - The open after that one, as well as the bumper at 7:49, use the topical cut. - The bumper at 8:00 uses one of the bumper cuts. The music on the open at 6:14 doesn't sound like any cut of "The Tower" I've heard.

[@iamnomad101]

Turns out the music at 6:14 is a piece of production music called "Headline" by Atmosphere Music Ltd. and was used from 2001-06. Also, the opens from 1993-94 used the noon open from series 2 of "The Great News Package" (the main open was used for a weeknight open and the ID at the end of this video), while the succeeding opens used series 3 (which was mostly based on the cue from "The One and Only"'s series 1 close [again!]).

In 2013 WKYC-TV uses Voiceover Lisa Malay Back since 1996-1998

[@chuckers40]

Is Judd Hambrick the older or younger brother of Mike Hambrick?

[@closetedhippie]

Yup... Judd is the younger brother of the late John Hambrick (who worked with Judd for a time in Los Angeles, anchored at WEWS in the 70s, and in New York, San Francisco, and Miami) - and older brother of Mike Hambrick (who worked in Baltimore, Phoenix, and Pittsburgh, Dallas, and Washington DC). Arguably the Hambrick brothers were the first family of "alpha male" TV news anchors...

WKYC Channel 3 News Voice Created By Jim Belo from 1982-1989.

[@CoxNexstar]

Voiceover Nick Michaels did WKYC-TV From 1998-1999.

[@iamnomad101]

Sounds like Jay Miltner on the station ID preceding the "5:30" intro.

[@iamnomad101]

Lisa Malay voiced the open at 5:13, while Suzy Nelson did the morning open that was seen at the end of the video.

[@brianhilcu5411]

iamnomad101 Yes it was the late Jay Miltner!

[@ExclusiveLM]

gwill9 It's hilarious how the lady reporter or anchor at 10:56 says welcome to the show. The news is not a show especially when you're reporting deaths, etc
