At a station I worked at in the 70's we would chroma key ABC network behind the anchor as we were leaving the local news at 11:30 PM. To do this we had to genlock the entire plant to ABC.
When the ABC Wide World of Entertainment open came up, the camera operator would zoom the camera in over the anchor's shoulder and then ABC would be switched in direct. And then we exited genlock.
It really looked pretty cool as the WWE open was a field of shimmering stars.
Would probably be called "cheesy" today.
