KCRA-TV news opens

This is an update of my original KCRA compilation, which felt rushed and had a lot of glaring errors. This also includes much more content from 1980 onward as well as the rest of the current opens (This may be updated again eventually as some of Hearst's stations roll out mid-life modifications to the current package. However KCRA is probably one of the less likely candidates for a modification.)
