Here is a station ID montage from KTBS 3, the ABC affiliate for Shreveport, LA and the Arklatex. All copyrights acknowledged. KTBS is a locally owned station, owned by the Wray family of Shreveport. The first ids are from 1986 and feature the 3 logo that was in use until the mid 1990s. Included are the mid 80s Late Late Show and Television Three the Big Movie openings/bumpers. 8:38 features the 3 News The Gulf War update from 1991, and 11:23 features the 90s logo and “On Your Side” moniker, which accompanied the popular “Palmer News Package.” In 1996, the station updated its logo to the version very similar to the one seen today and updated its news theme to “Millennium 3,” which used the Palmer News signature. 19:07 features footage with this logo. 21:10 features the modern KTBS logo, which is similar to the 1996 one minus the ABC logo with footage mostly from 2005. 35:30 features the modern 2015 era-motif. KTBS’s subchannel usage is similar to WBRZ, the locally owned ABC affiliate in Baton Rouge, with using one subchannel to broadcast news repeats and another to broadcast weather radar; the only difference is that KTBS’s sister station, KPXJ, broadcasts numerous networks, including the CW, Antenna TV, Movies!, and Me-TV, while WBRZ’s sister station, WBTR/KBTR mostly airs repeats of WBRZ’s newscast with occasional footage from This TV.
