International News Presentation: Past and Present

No one will be asking about the national animal of Turkmenistan after that. It was all a bit less horse-centric before Turkmenbashi's death:

DYK?: Watan airs 2 main bulletins - at Noon and Nine. Both are simulcast on all 7 Turkmenistan Public TV Stations.

God Borat was spot on with the fonts they used.

The current nighttime backdrop used by RTÉ in Ireland...



...reminds me of the nighttime backdrop used by Belgium's RTBF:

The news from Hamburg 1, a local station serving that northern German city. A visit by Queen Mary 2 is the stop story, and the news is anchored from a museum ship in the city's harbor:

And from 1989, here's WPDE's 6PM news with extensive coverage of the approach of Hurricane Hugo -- a nice job for such a small station:

This RAI Due intro from 1993 is a bit of a mystery to me:



Does the "Tg2 Napoli" branding indicate that this was a local opt-out for Naples? (I thought that only RAI Tre had regional opt-outs.) Or was the 11:45 national edition of Tg2 broadcast from Naples at the time? The lead story is about the Soviet Union, which seems to supports the latter hypothesis.
