Isn't their new building an old bowling alley? They probably kept it from there!

Here's the segment, courtesy of WBZ's YouTube page:

From stevations, an assortment of WAVY news promos (most from late 1989 and the early 1990s but with a couple of mid-1980s spots mixed in)

CBS is better then NBC and ABC which is more obvious however conservative news outlets are bias as well. What I am insulted with is how mainstream media works to dumb us down.Evening news covers the news that happened in 9AM. Why can't they come up with other news besides doing the same script. This just shows how fixed the news media has gotten. Catering to viewers, my foot. Most viewers are tune to what happened today but the evening news stays in the same box. Also, they work to stir your emotions not inform you why do you think things are so hyperpartisan. We are not living in an informative society but an emotional one that the mainsteam media continues to exploit.

More vintage clips.

I watched the whole thing. It was just a segment. No surprises other than the segment. I was so excited for nothing.

Former WRGB weatherman Tim Welch has some archive footage on his YouTube channel. Historical note is that he did weather between the legendary Howard Tupper and WYFF’s John Cessarich. The 4:22 mark shows some good shots of WRGB’s news set in the late 1970s. Edit: MicroJow has some Albany, NY commercial breaks from the 80s on YouTube. This WNYT one is notable - the station ID at 3:17 minutes in shows proof that they debuted the Cranston-Csuri GFX in ‘85: Also was WNYT Ed Hopkins’ first VO client?

Wait what... How in the world did they not have an evening newscast?

Whit Johnson is filling in for Dan Harris this morning.

How many of you all remember this show from the early 90s? The very first show of Personalities from September 3, 1990. Personalities was a daily magazine featuring entertainment news and profiles of newsmakers and trendsetters. Charlie Rose left the show less than two months after its debut and was replaced by Bill Sternoff. `Personalities' was re-titled `E.D.J.' (short for `Entertainment Daily Journal') in July 1991, with new anchors Jim Moret and Janet Zappala.

A RARE TREAT from 1982 at KUSA in Denver (formerly KBTV and an ABC affiliate). This looks like the 6:00am morning edition of 9NEWS, which was just before ABC's Good Morning America (Joan Lunden & David Hartman at the time) came on the air at 7:00am from the 0:00 mark to the 0:28 mark - the opening credits using the cut from It's All Right Here (Peters Communications version). It's the SAME cut that was also used on sister station KPNX in Phoenix. from the 2:38 mark to the 3:12 mark - the closing credits with the cut from Peters' It's All Right Here that I've never heard before. I've seen the 9NEWS opens and closes, which came from nighttime newscasts with Mike Landess and Ed Sardella, but never like this.

You are correct. Florida News Network was the brainchild of Ken Middleton, WTSP's ND. Thom Allen also did V/O work for KMOL
