In 17:56, the "Channel 8 News" news open with a young Jane Pauley is from former CBS affiliate WISH-TV in Indianapolis from somewhere between 1972 to 1975. She later became an anchor for NBC's Today and is now the host for CBS Sunday Morning. As for WISH-TV, they flipped from CBS to The CW in 2014
From 1970-81, John Chancellor was the regular newsman of "NBC Nightly News"; at the end of this broadcast he announces that he switching from anchor to commentator. The crew is congratulating him with a cake and there is a sign Chancellor is holding in front of the camera saying, "Free at last".
From 11:35 - 11:45 and 12:15 - 12:20, the voiceover for CBS's "Campaign '68: Wisconsin and Beyond" was Bob Hite - who didn't assume regular announcing duties for the "CBS Evening News" until 1972 (Harry Kramer was that program's announcer to earlier in that year).
There is a rare video of "The 11 PM Report" from the then WTOP-TV in 1968, with Tony Sylvester and the first black newsman in Washington, Hal Walker. John Douglas is the announcer. He was also the station's weatherman from 1956-70.

The WABC opens are from '79, '80, '82, and '84
at 9:40, ironically enough, Max Robinson was in Washington on a night when the lead story was, in of all places, Chicago.
And at 21:56, Sam Donaldson is in New York instead of Washington during the first hours of the Iran Hostage Crisis
Though it's not a news open, Special Treat (at 10:36) was NBC's answer to ABC's "Afterschool Special" and CBS' "Schoolbreak Special".
Would you happen to have the entire recording of the 9/22/1975 CBS Evening News?

That Today show opening with a view of the Arch in St. Louis: was that from April 14, 1982?
2:55 WPLG 1979/80 news open
Am I seeing things, or does that KVVU logo look an awful lot like WCVB's?
Not to be rasist, but I thought Bob Harris was black.
