70s Motion Graphics from Every American TV Market - Station IDs, News Intros & More

- In "This Was Too Long To Fit Into The Title" speak, I present to you a haphazard collection of station IDs, news intros, promos, logos, and even still images (wow!) of America's TV stations in the 1970s from every area of the US that I could find. Ranked by 1970s market size as well for extra unpredictability. This video possibly contains the most mistakes I've ever seen out of any video but it's become nearly impossible to edit on this old laptop (I mainly use a newer one these days). Once I edit videos fully on the laptop these absences will be like Scanimate: a thing of the past.
All of the videos used in this presentation DO belong to other CZcamsrs. I am acutely aware of that. I am not looking to profit off of these videos, these are used to educate the people about what...the 70s on TV looked like...yeah, what an excuse. Anyways. Hope you enjoy and sorry I was gone so long.
Limit comments saying that I'm back. I know I'm back. I appreciate the support. But there's...a video for you to watch. Watch it! Also read the description please.
Also, I know how to do math just fine, but for SOME reason many of these ranks aren't added/subtracted correctly.
omg you're back i missed u ♥♥♥
Finally! You're back! Hope you do more video in the future!
The King of IDs, Logos, and Bumpers brings forth yet more wistful looks back at TV from a more refined, artistically appreciative age. I truly appreciate your work searching, collecting, and curating these gems of telephemera. Perhaps I'll find you a nice rarity. I'd love to see the late '70s bumper for Great Falls, Montana's KRTV that featured the "diamond ring" formed by that year's big solar eclipse, with a loud, descending tone into a...let's call it a sci-fi baritone Moog fart. I think another ID showed a slideshow of the moment Mt. Saint Helens tore itself a new one when the volcano's pressure became too great for one side of the mountain to contain.
How the heck did Roswell, AKA Alien Land get a TV market?
Where did you get the 1970s TV market list?
4:58 dude loses his marbles when the beat kicks in
There is something positively charming about the weatherman grooving to the music at 5:00. I love it.
Same here.
he’s jamming
11:21 VCR glitches are the best !
Audibly gasped when i saw the homie no was back, this is like the best logo channel
13:40 WTH, Charlotte?! I... LOVED IT!
7:40 the Wolfman Jack, one of the last true radio cultural powerhouses.
11:24 Your nervous system when you stub your toe
18:55. I remember the KCET flying postcard promo at the beginning of each episode of "Cosmos", with Carl Sagan, back in 1980. Wonderful memories!
Extra Effort News made me giggle--as opposed to Low Effort News?
I love this, so comforting to have playing in the background
This is some bomb ass archival work right here. Thank you for your service
The question is: How far back are we going? The 60s? The 50s? Nah, probably not enough to make a five-minute video.
Awesome work as always!
This is as far back as I'll go most likely
@@NoEntertainmentEveryone: We want WGBH!
You: WBZ, take it or leave it
What about the 2000’s
These 1970s logos are so trippy and the synth i can't even believe they used them so much i personally like them but they sound like atari sfx no wonder my parents hate synthesizers being bombarded with this stuff all day during their childhood.
Great to See You Back
18:44 Our clocks are broken
5:59 A portion of "Timesteps" by Wendy Carlos, composed for the soundtrack to "A Clockwork Orange"(!); the entire composition is definitely worth a listen.
3:22 looks like something I'd find in a community centre billboard
What a treat! Thank you!
4:59 Makes sense the weatherman would groove, "I'm a Man" by Chicago is great!
11:22 Don’t think it’s a broken VCR Belt because I found the video that this was sourced from and the tape runs fine after that. Tape probably got eaten or damaged in a bad VCR or something like that, probably even deterioration of the tape.
KVOS-TV is one of three stations in my area along with BTV 10 (public access) and KBCB (religious programming). There's also a public access network in Ferndale (just north of Bellingham) but they're never on the air. KVOS used to be big enough that they had their own newscast, but that was before my time. It's been a syndication channel for as long as I can remember. Their studio in the Sehome Hill area shut down about a decade ago and now they're just an antenna on top of a business complex at the east end of town that broadcasts Heroes & Icons.
The population in the market is currently in the lower 200k range, so it's fairly small compared to Seattle and Spokane.
Welcome back.
KVOS traditionally targeted the Vancouver, BC market. Today it's the METV affiliate for Seattle. Similarly, KCND Pembina, ND targeted Winnipeg, MB, but the day after it shut down it became CKND Winnipeg.
7:49 I love that crazy soundtrack
It's Emerson lake and Palmer specifically Karn Evil 9 1st impression pt 1. The whole record, Brain Salad Surgery, is worth a look if you love crazy ass synths like is in this whole vid
0:55 KLAK jingle!
4:05 This stock music was also used in ads for the Dimes 'n Critters FEC
4:24 KOMU is a commercial station owned by a university, an oddity in U.S. TV
6:06 i respect your opinion, but why do you call that a miss? I LOVED IT, i danced to this.
9:00 What a weird ID my hometown had...

Here's a fun fact about Fort Myers. Around the time that logo aired, that station was 11 years old and was our second channel ever in the region. By that time, Ft Myers only had three stations total. Now we have 13 high and low power stations.

Ah yes the 70s, decade of weird trippy scanimated logos with synth noises or disco music
and in rare cases, early full-blown CGI, like KCET, for example.
@@millertime97jm It really came down to who fit the bill on paying for those graphics.
Hey bro no WTVT 13 was actually CBS at the time. Changed to FOX in 1994. WTSP 10 was ABC in Tampa back in the 70’s. Thank you for uploading these.
Yeah and WJKW (reverted back to original WJW) was CBS until 1994-1995.
Living in Fort Myers, im surprised that it was a small market in the 70s
welcome back
11:09 Fun fact: There was a Chilean news program on Universidad de Chile Televisión (currently known as Chilevisión) that copied that KTVX 6 O'Clock Report intro!
yay you back
11:23 and this is why TV channels (and VCRs maybe) shouldnt do drugs
10:28 Great to see that KTBS logo from the '70s.
7:09 Indy 500.
2:08 was probably from 1976-1979, seeing as how the song is Oxygene part IV, which was released in 1976.
It was 1979. That was a typo carried over from the text I'd copied from another one. my older laptop is slow/runs into problems with editing, hence why I shouldn't use it, so stuff like that was to be expected
Find it funny that Athens County, OH (WOUB example in this video) continues to shuffle markets. Makes sense for it to belong to Parkersburg but it hasn’t for at least 15 years. It’s bouncing between Columbus and Charleston-Huntington.
0:48 Must not have been enough “extra effort” in their news to only be ranked 197…
Found the Nielsen Ratings for Television Markets from 1989. Apparently, the Alaska and Hawaii TV Markets weren’t ranked at the Time.
Edit: Here’s Some of the Notable differences compared to the Market Ratings of Today:
-The Alaska and Hawaii markets weren’t rated until 1992
-Sarasota-Bradenton was rated as a separate market until 1991
-Roswell and Hagerstown were ranked as separate until around 1992
And
-Anniston and Tuscaloosa were rated as separate markets until channels 33 and 40 became ABC Affiliates upon WBRC’s switch to Fox in 1996.
Where?
@@jabukagala Look up the Broadcasting Cable Yearbook from 1989, the rankings start on Page 655
17:34 Would you look at that, it's my local TV Market
A version of the marketing campaign at 15:00 made its way down to San Diego (KFMB 8) as late as 1990/91.
The last station to stop using it was as late as 2012
I remember watching KSPS Spokane through Videotron ( later Shaw Cable ) back in '78 ( I'm from Edmonton, Alberta, Canada and we watched a lot of American television on cable ), and I don't recall seeing that graphic design.
It may have been more widely used starting around 1980 or so. Dates in this video can be kinda approximate
i thought videotron was only in quebec and parts of ontario?
Nope, it was in Alberta, and other parts of Western Canada ( Saskatchewan, Manitoba, and British Columbia ) I think.
6:47 kthi is currently an NBC affiliate and is currently called kvly 11.
Was watching these through Roku, and the WQLN ID sound scared my cat😁
I fucking love shit like this, I’d even go as far as stealing the damn scanimate machine from that one guy
9:57 Correction: Was CBS at the time, Footage taken in 2009/2010, when it was aff. with NBC
12:28 thats my area, however WRGB is now the CBS station in my area
Hey, that’s mine too!
noticed market 39 was missing (is think that's Greenville/Spartanburg, SC/NC) But, hey great work !!
Yeah I saw that too. I wondered why I didn’t see anything from the Greenville/Spartanburg/Asheville market.
I think Charleston, SC is missing too.
@@JohnHillRSNStudiosThat would have been cool to see WLOS, WSPA, or WYFF (then WFBC) 70’s intros.
0:20 and thats the birth of a Global station, although 12 did return as a Fox Affiliate
Nice.
WOR-TV, Channel 9, New York City, is now WWOR-TV, Secaucus, New Jersey. However, there is no Secaucus, New Jersey. The studio building has high weeds and is all fenced in. It is to be demolished and turned into an office building. Their operations were relocated to the Fox flagship/network owned-and-operated station WNYW,-TV, Channel 5 in New York City. 👌
Lifelong Tampa Bay resident here. WTVT was never an ABC affiliate. It was with CBS from the time it signed on until that New World deal sent it to FOX.
11:23 Sounds like when Yoshi touches a fuzzy in Yoshi’s island
0:54 Is this where Oddity Archive got the KLAK-AM jingle?
9:23 - music is _Mindbender_ by Barry Forgie...quality shit!
16:20 WTVT was CBS not ABC
now it's fox

BTW, where did you find this ID?
Sounds like The WNBC Saga by TM
There is a little bit of racing there
What about the TV stations that share affiliates with multiple networks (i.e. the only station serving the market)? Do they pick and choose which network programs to air?
That happened. Smaller markets that didn't have three separate network affiliates did that a lot. Toledo, OH had this problem until 1970.
Had to split this into multiple parts so I apologize about this but, here we go (Corrections are in parentheses):
(2/4)
4:12 (Was an ABC Affiliate at the Time, was an NBC Affiliate briefly between 1982-1985)
4:23 Briefly was an ABC Affiliate between 1982-1985 after an Affiliation switch with KCBJ-TV (Now KMIZ) before reversing the switch on New Year’s Day 1986.
4:46 (Actually is an ABC Affiliate, was affiliated with CBS from 1953-1967)
4:54 Lost it’s CBS Affiliation in early 1986 due to UHF Problems that it dealt with for Years as well as WAKA Providing a Stronger Signal for the area. Currently A Fox Affiliate and has been since the Networks Inception in October of 1986.

7:07 Lost it’s ABC Affiliation on February 1, 2016 as a result of a contract dispute. Currently a Cozi TV Affiliate.
7:47 Became a CBS Affiliate on January 1, 1989 as a Result of WTVJ becoming an NBC Affiliate which carried the Broward County Portion of Palm Beach Television Market with the Weak signal from WTVX, the previous CBS Affiliate of the Palm Beach area. ABC would move it’s affiliation to the newly established WPBF the same day.

lol how did the 1970s Nebraska ETV sign off end up mixed in with the Albuquerque stuff?
Is it sad that I can pick out the agencies responsible for most of these, and also immediately recognized the music?
must've been a mistake, I don't know what you're talking about (I'm guessing it says the wrong market)
edit: of COURSE it did
Wow Wilkes Barre Scranton Pennsylvania was market 45 in 1975? It dropped a lot since then.
It would only make sense that all you could find for the Roanoke market was from the Lynchburg side...
14:15 They could have had the callsign "XETV" in Mexico and "KETV" in America (Because San Diego, CA is west of the Mississippi River)
KETV was already in use at the time in Ohama, NE.
"Get Six Appeal"

Lol in 1975 I could say that Bluefield was larger than Las Vegas
Well...KBAK-TV then an ABC affiliate with THEIR version of the star marquee opening used by the network (1975-81). KBAK is now a CBS affiliate.
Where the heck did you find all these promos??? The graphics and music are so '70s! They should be preserved for graphic design history classes.
Great stuff! Only two complaints:
(1) Some of them flash by too quickly to be seen. Give 'em all at least five or ten seconds, OK?
(2) The "market change" stat is confusing; growing markets should be given a (+) and shrinking markets a (-). (For example, 9:00 Fresno, going from 73rd to 55th, should be +18, not -18.)
Often times station IDs are just too short, so it's hard (but I could've made the stills longer). but I do understand the second complaint. I was wondering how to go about that myself. I was thinking because it was going down in number it would be subtraction. Not everyone's cup of tea though. Thanks for the feedback!
No.? Yes!
12:52 This is Charleston's PBS, WMUL!
Whoa! That's a young Meredith Viera! I bet she's sad that her market dropped a lot over the last 45 years.
EDIT: I saw that St. Louis, Cleveland, Baltimore, and Detroit dropped a few places each in market rankings. I wonder why....
It was mainly because two counties in Connecticut had been removed from it, as well as other markets just growing faster.
As for the other markets, population loss.
Didn’t you say that Greenville lost some counties to most likely Raleigh Durham
I remember Meredith Viera on the American version of Who Wants To Be A Millionaire? after Regis Philbin (Rest in peace, Regis).
@@JontyMaster That’s right. Meredith was hosting Millionaire for over a decade. She was also an anchor for The Today Show for several years.
WLUK is of course now the FOX affiliate here though I think it did some more bouncing around to get there.
