KLAS-TV news opens

Here ya go - my longest compilation yet, in fact being the second longest JUST under tristan andrew’s WABC compilation. You can thank the fact that they’ve been using talent bumps FOREVER (which drags out the compilations usually) and of course there are plenty of KLAS clips on here, especially from Vegas Past Newscasts and KLAS itself. Being the ratings leader also is a factor.

But hey, enjoy the evolution of this station’s talent - better them than 40+ minutes of WPVI!

The following are opens from KLAS-TV in Las Vegas from 1985 onward.
