It's called... "Getting Old"

Remember the conversation in the WMAQ thread proposing the outside chance of Ron popping up there? His subtle dig at NBC 5 last night probably puts that to rest (around the 7:20 mark)... (Still uploading) Here's the playlist of promos and such. I'll be adding to it later... https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=id=AX5c3-FeRlE;list=PLRUzFrK0TcW2TgvO579jf7vNf4_-4zza8 Here's the final broadcast highlights... After seeing the week of tributes, Paul Meincke's work needs be put in for Emmy consideration. The amount of research, the number of interviews, the accuracy of the material, plus his witty and thoughtful writing made for a very impressive series of segments.

No appearance on tv, but they all appear to be at the retirement party. Cecily tweeted this pic

An entire WXFL 6pm newscast from 1985 (A-block linked, but the B and C blocks are up too): This person probably worked there because, well...

Were mornings and 5:00 p.m. that competitive at the time that Rick and Monica needed to pull both shifts? I guess at the time they were assuming Lisa would return to the 5:00 p.m. broadcast?

We take you back to 1982 where WSOC-TV brings you the "Eyewitness News Hour" with Bill Walker and Doreen Gentzler. You can view the news open from that era at :42 into the video and features an unknown news theme. The entry form submitted by WSOC-TV for entry into the Peabody Awards state: "We are submitting this particular program as an example of coverage of spot news and national news on a local level. The spot news developed during the run of the program: a toxic chemical fire had started across the street from the television station shortly prior to the start of the newscast. As the fire and the newscast progressed, a cloud of toxic fumes wafted over the station building, causing breathing problems for the population in the area. The local disaster officials advised evacuating the building, and we decided to move the television newscast outside the building where we could follow the progress of the fire. It is an example of operating under the heavy pressure of an on-going news development. (The entire last half hour of the news is an example of this). We also covered a national story live from our Washington Bureau dealing with the Charlotte-born wife of a Russian dissident. The reporter had established contacts in Russia when we covered Billy Graham's historic journey to the Soviet Union live last spring."

It can take years for the NMSA to fix certain sorts of mistakes. Case in point: the CBS 1988 affiliate package.
