I am curious how long KATU-TV (ABC) used the "eyewitness news" imaging. I had always thought that KIRO in Seattle was the only NW station to really hammer this theme outside of the ABC network O&O's. I think if KATU used this it was short-lived, but KIRO has been using the theme since 1969 till today! To my knowledge, KATU switched back to simply "Channel 2 News" by the end of the 70's.
 
KHQ in Spokane and KBOI in Boise also used Eyewitness News during the early '70s. KIRO stopped using Eyewitness News from about 1988 or 1989 through 1997.
