The announcer on that Cronkite spot, as well as the WPXI/WILX/KCPQ opens, was Bob Perry. He also did some voiceovers for WNOL (New Orleans) during their pre-Fox/CW days.

Really? I'm surprised you think so. Her and Rick often joke on the noon show, and I'd say their chemistry is on par with Rick and Monica's, if not better. She is more serious on Sunday nights when she's co-anchoring with Walter. Speaking of Walter, I wonder if the long term plan is for him to anchor 5pm & 10pm solo on Saturdays (in addition to 6pm & 11pm). I feel like he needs a co-anchor especially for the hour long newscasts. They should either move Sarah to weekend evenings full time and have Monica or Alicia take her spot on the noon show. Or they could have Alicia work Tuesday-Saturday, handling the Friday noon show along with Saturday evenings (Nydia or Sarah could handle her Monday 4pm features anchor role).

Heartlands WFFT updated their news and weather logo while keeping the old nexstar package. Now know as FoX55, they have the o&o logo while mocking the Tribune logo transition In the close, you can see the new weather logo. Tell me, where did they get the idea for that logo? ;)

I don't know, I only really saw the beginning, but she did do a VO during the open, so she was an active third anchor.

WRAL GM's Steven Hammel is set to retire http://www.adweek.com/tvspy/wral-general-manager-retires-from-broadcasting/201596

Another thing that I believe is a first. I can't recall any time during his tenure where someone has formally filled in for Michael, instead of opting for just George and Robin as a duo.

From NewsActive3, this might be the earliest local newscast from the D.C. area (only earlier news video from the nation's capital I've run across was some local cut-ins alongside CBS News coverage of the 1968 Indiana primary); a WTOP newscast from July 29, 1968

!!!!! Cool, now the NMSA has two VOs to identify... Now if we could only guess who this guy is...

Chicago's WGN pays tribute to former WGN, WBBM, and WLS news anchor John Drury, 2007:

Mark Curtis pre-KPNX... Also the NMSA hasn’t identified Don Harrison as the VO on that KSTP open - this isn’t the first time this has happened. Here’s a WOI update from after they became “News 5” and actually started to use more decent-looking graphics for the time frame... https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6nAIHdFLAII Edit: That unknown WPXI-WILX-KCPQ voiceover guy returns in this quick CBS Evening News slide right before WCCO’s news...

KSTP in 1987: Clips from the opening of WCCO's communication center in 1983 and (first video) a historical special from then. "On the Move" was the theme — and likely the three-note signature to WCCO 1983:

just up chad matthews!
