The following video features various news and talent opens from KTVU in San Francisco from the late 1970s to present. As with the original version of this video, since "The Ten O'Clock News" is very intregal part of KTVU's news history, I put those opens in a separate part of the video from those of other newscasts (the "Action News" intro included later in the video was placed separately for the simple fact that I wasn't sure if that name was for the 10 p.m. newscast or another early evening newscast that aired on the station during the 1970s). This is a reupload of the compilation originally uploaded on November 3, 2013 to include cold opens and additional intros. Here's what you can see in this video: Intros for "The Ten O'Clock News" (0:07) 1980 to c. 1983 intro (0:36) c. 1983 to c. 1985 intro (1:04) c. 1985 to 1987 intro (1:24-2:54) 1987-1994 intro (versions #2 and #3 feature modified voiceover spiel) (2:54-4:08) 1994-2001 intro (similar to the 1987-1994 sequence, but includes a CGI rendering of San Francisco -- if you look on Google Earth with the model rendering/3D mapping, you'll see that there is a somewhat bigger distance between the Golden Gate Bridge and the city's skyline than is depicted in the open; version #2 at 3:42 features an animated glass "Circle Laser 2"/Fox combo logo and slightly altered theme) (4:08) 2001-2002 intro (4:58) 2002-2006 intro, altered version of previous intro with modified voiceover spiel (this was the first to include the "Complete Bay Area News Coverage" slogan and the last to include the "Number One Primetime Newscast in the Country" reference) (5:13-6:13) 2006-2010 intro (version at 5:30 features a slightly different intonation of voiceover spiel and 615 Music's "Icon News" theme) (6:13) 2010-present intro Other KTVU news opens (6:35) "Action News" intro (1977-1980) (6:58) "2 at Noon" intro (1986-c. 1990) (7:26) "The 6:00 News" intro (late 1980s-early 1990s) (7:45) "Mornings on 2" intro (1991-1993) (8:11) "Mornings on 2" intro, same as before but without talent video and including shots of San Francisco (1993-1995) (8:53) "Mornings on 2" intro, altered version of previous intro (1995-2001) (9:20-9:53) "The Noon News" and "The 5 O'Clock News" intros (1997-2001) (9:53-11:21) "KTVU Channel 2 Morning News" intros (two versions) and "KTVU Channel 2 News" noon and 6 p.m. intros (2002-2006) (11:21-13:24) "KTVU Channel 2 News" "Morning News," "Mornings on 2," noon 5 and 6 p.m. and special edition intro (2006-2010) (13:24-15:38) "KTVU Channel 2 News" "Morning News" intro, 5 p.m. main and mid-show intro and 6 p.m. intro (2010-present) The posting of this video is designed to facilitate criticism, commentary, scholarship, and research relating to the television broadcasting industry, and for purposes of historic preservation, consistent with the provisions set forth in Section 107 of Title 17, United States Code. © 2014 KTVU, owned by the Fox Television Stations subsidiary of 21st Century Fox.
