Miss that old Channel 2 News Intro... classic and you knew the news from the "Number one prime time newscast in the COUNTRY" as about to begin with Dennis and Elaine
There may have been a time period circa 1990 when KTVU used four news themes: the Mornings on 2 theme, its 10pm news theme, the 6pm news theme, and Brave New World. That may be an unmatched and unmatchable record.
The circling city names in the KGO open is how it's sister network Univision got it's current opens for both Entravision-owned stations and it's O&O's.
ICYMI: KRON Channel 4 was NBC until New Year's Day 2002, when it changed to an independent station. It is now the Bay Area affiliate of MyNetworkTV. KNTV Channel 11 was the ABC affiliate of San Jose until 2002, when it became the NBC affiliate of the Bay Area.
KNTV actually dropped ABC affiliation around 1999, and became an affiliate of the WB(KGO, meanwhile,began to be distributed on cable systems in the Monterey Bay Area, to provide those viewers with access to ABC programming.

I remember when Sylvia Chase left ABC for our local KRON. Shocked the hell out of me.
The KTVU 10pm theme and the KPIX theme from that time are my two favorite news theme from the SF area.

Ah, yes, the old "library set" on KRON. Unique for sure.

***** That voiceover is Charlie Van Dyke. He uses the voice for my hometown station, WABC-TV.
Charlie Van Dyke is the Don LaFontaine of newscasts! The booming voice?! How could I not recognize that voice?! It's undeniable!
thanks!!!!😄😄😄

Oh, I did not know that!
Gary used to be at WBNS-TV 10 in Columbus
And Gary Radnich used to team up with Pete Wilson on KTXL 40 News in Sacramento back in the early 1980's before they moved to the Bay Area.
Before KRON lost their affiliation with NBC
You can say that again!
Enjoyed the openings but must say KRON's set was a bit bizarre, looks like a library!
WHAT?!? TERRY MCSWEENEY IN CALIFORNIA?!? Cool!
