NBC News Digest with Tom Brokaw (June? 1988)

A June 1988 issue of NBC News Digest with Tom Brokaw. Still not 100% on the dates.
Stories featured:
Nicaragua--President Daniel Ortega proposes 1-month ceasefire with US-backed Contra ring-wing militias
Senate Armed Services Committee recommended full-senate approval for Frank Carlucci as new defense secretary
US Government approves tPA as heart drug to dissolve blood clots
This tape, labeled "Back in the USSR Frontline 1988", contains the aforementioned program as it aired on Pittsburgh's WQED public broadcast station, along with some other TV programs. After that, cut-off programs from KDKA-TV, KSDK and WPXI play until the tape runs out.
The programs that play go in order:
PBS Frontline "Back in the USSR" (1988)
"Elvis: That's the Way It Is" TV airing (cut off after about 4 minutes)
Randy Travis for "Country Music Crossroads" (Mar. 19, 1988, not the full program)
The Wil Shriner Show ("Secret of Success", cut off at beginning, aired on KDKA-TV)
Days of Our Lives on KSDK
Another World on KSDK
Guiding Light on KDKA-TV
Upscaled to 4K for TH-cam using Lanczos4Resize and deinterlaced with QTGMC, all within StaxRip.
I do not claim to be well versed in the artform of analog media encoding, so I encourage anyone who knows better to give it a try themselves using the RF samples on the archive.org page: archive.org/details/tdk_wqed_ksdk_1988 (not yet available)
Rest of description is a direct paste from archive.org page:

This is the original signal off of the medium before processing past initial signal tracking and pre-amplification - a raw master digital copy or medium transfer.

This would have aired during the afternoon based on the color of the sky in the Digest animation open. I wonder why NBC didn't have an opening with a pretty sky. It was always cloudy. lol Also, Brokaw teases "Nightly News" during his sign off.

I noticed that with other NBC News Digest uploads online, the sky is always dark in some way

@@UniArchives For some odd reason they only adjusted the light for the afternoons. The morning intro's for TODAY and SUNRISE were a little lighter than the ones for NIGHTLY NEWS and the evening DIGESTS but nearly the same.
