ChannelTwoNews Posted August 18, 2013 Share Posted August 18, 2013 Tower Spotter, here is another video from WNYW-TV New York Fox 5 *SNIP* I'm trying to find Fox 26 Houston's 1986 and 1987 news opens similar to WNYW just let me know if anyone else can upload it It's funny you posted that clip. KRIV actually ended up getting that set in the mid 90's, when WNYW got a new one. It was the last set they used while they were at the old studios on Westheimer (now the Central Market). They used the same graphics for the open around the same time too. I have a few items posted on my YouTube account from the station from 1989 - the tail end of the period you're looking for.

Montrose1100 Posted August 28, 2013 Share Posted August 28, 2013 (edited) There is a Grand Canyon University commercial with a flyover of Dowtiown facing south west. A bit dated though, as Discovery Green is just dirt. Also, don't know if this is national or just a localized commercial.

Blue Dogs Posted September 10, 2013 Share Posted September 10, 2013 ChannelTwoNews, I stumbled upon this video on Rendezvous Houston concert news clips package and discovered that Shara Fryer was doing the 6pm newscasts with Dave Ward for KTRK 13 in 1986 here:http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Db6dRG0jgHQ KTRK's section is at the 0:0132 part of the video. So I assume that Fryer began doing 6pm weekday newscasts in 1986 or earlier in 1985 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

IronTiger Posted January 23, 2014 Share Posted January 23, 2014 Toward the beginning, there was what appeared to be a sunken highway--there aren't many sunken highways like that in Houston, and it wasn't Interstate 10 or 69. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kylejack Posted January 23, 2014 Share Posted January 23, 2014 (edited) The very first scene could have been a street in Midtown or Museum District over 59 or 288. Other than that, there were no exterior scenes that seemed to be shot in Houston, except one Downtown shot from the Sabine Street bridge. Certainly not the park with the giant fountains. Edit: Nope, I used an apartment complex sign to confirm the location of the first scene. It was shot in Los Angeles, right here: https://maps.google.com/maps?q=Tesoro+Del+Valle&ll=34.07858,-118.220007&spn=0.002894,0.004128&client=firefox-a&fb=1&gl=us&cid=2619391441908811940&t=h&z=19&layer=c&cbll=34.078648,-118.2199&panoid=cxK5t20F5Df6aK3zMzC3ig&cbp=12,56.52,,0,1.93 Edited January 23, 2014 by kylejack Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Blue Dogs Posted March 25, 2014 Share Posted March 25, 2014 On Scandal, it's got Fitz Grant as the 44th President.

ricco67 Posted April 15, 2014 Share Posted April 15, 2014 It was a necessity. After Marvin died, it seems like once people tried to copy him were doing a couple of places a month. I miss him.A friend of mine was getting screwed by a business and got action once he said he was writing marvin. The mere threat of doing so is enough for business to compromise in the old days.

shasta Posted April 19, 2014 Share Posted April 19, 2014 Houston is featured in the movie, Draft Day. There is a nice aerial shot of Reliant Stadium with the Med Center and then downtown in the background. IMO, this is the most complete view of the Houston skyline because you get 2 of the 3 largest density clusters in one shot, an on axis. Uptown is more of a jumbled mess when compared to DT or MC and it is harder to relate that district back to the other 2. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

shasta Posted April 19, 2014 Share Posted April 19, 2014 (edited) Do they communicate the setting is Houston or just some nfl city? It is clearly noted as HOUSTON...home of the Texans. They do an aerial over Reliant and our skyline then they break away to the character that plays the Texans GM. Plus Arian Foster is a prominent, although not frequent, character in the movie. If you have any interest in football at all.......you will find this to be a very entertaining movie (just don't take it too seriously).
