KTXL NewsPlus Sales Presentation -- Pete Wilson (circa 1981)

This short presentation was shown to advertisers to drum up ad sales for Newsplus, which debuted on August 6, 1979. You can watch the full broadcast here: • KTXL NewsPlus - first ...
This sales presentation was edited on 3/4" tape, and as a result it looks a bit cruddy, with lots of ringing. I present it here for historical value.
Pete Wilson went on to fame and fortune in San Francisco, first at KGO, then to KRON, then back to KGO. He passed away in 2007.
The voiceover in this presentation was provided by the station's operation manager, Cal Bollwinkel, though the very first line sounds like it was lifted from something voiced by Ernie Anderson.
The NewsPlus theme music is "Gauchos" by Lala Schifrin, from the 1978 album "Gypsies."

That music at the start was also used by HBO for its "On Location" specials at the time

I would like to know if I could post or email you a list of what I would like to see on your CZcams channel because I grew up watching KNXT, KNBC, KTLA, KABC, KHJ, KTTV and KCOP.

I would like to know if you could please upload ABC Saturday Morning Previews Promos from 1977 and 1978( including Saturday morning version of "We're The One") because I enjoy cartoons especially since during my childhood.

When are you making a comeback?

[@logantyrelle97]

Hi there! I’m not sure if I’ve asked this yet or not…if not, do you by chance have any episodes of The Young and The Restless from 1975-1981 and 1983-March 1984 in your collection as well as anything having to do with Tina Turner or Cher??

[@VPR2B]

Thanks for asking but I don't believe I do.

[@logantyrelle97]

@@VPR2B no problem! thanks for answering!
