TVM L'Aħbarijiet News 1988:


and here is where the news theme came from!


Very excited to just discover this while listening to the in-flight entertainment system on Turkish Airlines, after a month in Malta. By the way, I wish I could share TVM's 1989 graphics with you - which used the same theme with more impressive graphics - but I have not yet transferred my tape.

The first time I heard that was when VPRO in the Netherlands recieved a new look and they used it in the presentation video.

TV2, Norway, 2014:



I see a trend in Nordic newscasts these days (or at least on TV2 Norway and TV2 Denmark): the name of the bulletin not appearing on the opening sequence.

This distinctively French look can also be seen in France's overseas territories -- such as French Guyana in South America:

Here's another newscast from Outre-mer 1ère, this time from the French Caribbean island of Martinique (Outre-mer 1ère, formerly known as RFO, is a service of France Télévisions for the country's overseas territories):

A bit of CNN as seen in Japan back in 1984 -- it's a mix of CNN from the U.S. (this was before CNN International was created) and Japanese-language, CNN-branded segments from Tokyo:

As Mouseboy33 mentioned in the other thread, WPLG in Miami has a new set. Here's a montage of yesterday's 4 p.m. news showing the new set in action:

Bizarre. Tacky local graphics and content but with a really generic, nationalised set? And that main backdrop is just ugly.

lol at the subtle 'shut up, this is my line' tap during the first story.

Some rare gold - TVM Malta featuring ITN World News and L'Aħbarijiet fil Qosor (News in Brief), 1989. I recorded this in Malta - more to come. Enjoy Smile

Just uploaded from my collection.

The CBS Evening News on TMC Antenna Sicilia Italy 1989. It includes real-time channel surfing of Sicilian TV stations received during this broadcast and a TMC ident. This video was received via a normal TV antenna from the island of Malta, at least 100km away. Hope you like it.
