International News Presentation: Past and Present

End of TF1's 13 Heures bulletin in February 1990, probably the last one before they introduced their new logo...

here in Brazil, Rede Bandeirantes (or simply "Band" – pronounced as "bahn-d") launched tonight a new set, new graphics, a new opening sequence and a remixed theme for its flagship newscast, "Jornal da Band".

(that package was launched when the newscast went HD, in late 2008. in fact, here's a widescreen version of the titles, which then said "in high-definition": http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=NB1ky_EMWmo )

2006 (when Ricardo Boechat, one of the main anchors, took over. but that package was launched a few months earlier): http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=MYx5PPMMHfo
an unusual close from 2007, with someone a little too sleepy: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=QmiT_3IvPvw

Ehm, isn't it "Bun-gee"?

By the way, there seems to be a major differences between European and Brazilian Portuguese. On the evening news, Portuguese presenter says "Buo noit", while Brazilian presenter says "Boa noi-chi". Portuguese newscast on TVI is "Jor-naal Naa-show-naal" and Brazilian national newscast on Rede Globo is "Jor-now Naa-show-now"

Set kinda looks like the transport room on the Original Series of Star Trek.

On the occasion of yesterday's first-ever World Cup victory for Slovenia, here is Slovenian television news from the late Yugoslav era (1989):

Staying in the Communist world, here's the news from MTV1 in Hungary, 1984:

It's not just me, but at 1.16 in with the weather forecast/cartoon - it is the theme to Chitty Chitty Bang Bang playing in the background, isn't it?

Its werid in that the reason why that bulletin starts with '3' is simply because it was the third bulletin of the day the first bulletin at 7.30pm on TV1, 2 being at 9pm on TV2 and then 3 which aired before closedown on TV1, I'm not really sure why I've looked into it that much but there you go. That particular intro MTV used for donkeys years AIUI, it was eventually changed in 1986 to this....

My how news themes were different in the U.K in the 80's.

Here's an example of (very) small-market US local news from 1981:

It's done like that in Spain as well though I'm not sure if the news programmes themselves are actually branded as 1, 2, 3 etc. It's certainly listed like that in magazines though. Quite unnecessary really.

My God - that weather forecast was frenetic! I much prefer a weather presenter to talk to camera (i.e. the audience), rather than talking to the map...
