Found in the files of Virtual K'Nex for PC. This seemingly went unused as the regular Fox Interactive logo is used instead. (replaced in early-1998, the year when the game was released)
Thanks to ZeroStar for this curiosity.
Quality was upped to 1280x960 (4x its original size) with FFmpeg.

![KTIV (NBC) 4 News at 10:00 - November 1, 2001 (complete, w/ original commercials)
[thank you so much for 1,000 subscribers!]
After multiple months, I manage to find the tape that started this channel, a tape from November 2001 of various material from KTIV. Presented here is a complete KTIV News Channel 4 newscast from 2001. Features a bunch of general, weather conditions, health, and sports headlines, airing alongside their original commercials.
Ripping this tape was a pain. Never once before have I had a tape that has soiled my VCR heads not once, but twice. I had to clean my heads once before ripping this, and another after this (particularly because of the Jay Leno promo at the end of this rip). I have not had this tape soil my VCR anytime before, so seeing it now was kind of worrying. Either way, Im pretty much done ripping from this tape for now.
About 17 minutes into the recording, Al reports that the station would be going off the air for transmitter maintenance that evening. If youre by change curious about what happened then, you can find the station sign off here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=FmlwEDWkxpc

![DIRECTV National Emergency Alert System Test (November 9, 2011; multiple perspectives)
[for the impatient: test happens at 1:34]
Fun fact: I had produced a video like this a while back, but I seemingly lost the files (plus found a few more recordings)

![Trilithic EASyPLUS Local Access Alert Demonstration
[originally recorded on August 26, 2019]
A demonstration of a Local Access Alert initiated by a Trilithic EASyPLUS. Normally, these would have to be activated via a working phone line, however by enabling a specific event through the EASyPLUS software, as well as having it receive SAME headers for that specific event code(s), it will display the screen, albeit without audio as that is expected to come from an active phone line.
This was originally uploaded to FrixTheSecond about 2 months after I recorded this to tape but had it unlisted because I didnt see it fit anywhere on the channel. I have decided to upload it here instead because somebody has been bugging me on-and-off to publish this to YouTube.
The original upload had audio taken from themaddoktors recording of an actual message: https://youtu.be/c6pUIp2V1kc, but since the original VHS recording of this had no audio, it was removed prior to uploading here.

![KTIV (NBC) Required Weekly Test - June 4, 2021 (ticker-only)
[This video contains copyrighted material. As a result, it had been blocked worldwide and required a reupload blocking out the material.]
Overheard this and knew that I just had to capture it. Interesting that they decide to test weekly this week, considering that there was a Required Monthly Test that happened a few days prior.
Initially recorded at around 11:01 PM on June 4, 2021 on KTIV (NBC affiliate for Sioux City), captured via DIRECTV very early in the morning on June 5, 2021. The footage was taken out because NBCUniversal rightfully claimed it, which led to a worldwide block. I did include a bit of footage in the beginning, but very brief bc Im pretty sure that if I kept any more in then they might claim that as well.
