WEWS-TV news opens

The following video features various news and talent opens from WEWS in Cleveland from 1977 to present.

Most of the clips seen in the first six sets of intros shown include sponsorship plugs for Ohio Edison/The Illuminating Company, WEWS' main news sponsor (apparently) during the late 1970s and 1980s. This predates WKYC's incorporation of sponsorship plugs within its news opens starting in 2006.
