Pittsburgh is mourning today. RIP Joe DeNardo.

Godspeed Nick Michaels. You're now in a better place with Chris Clausen.

Got some rare WYMT goodies coming your way now. First, here is a WYMT 6PM news open from 1987. And second, here is the last news open used for WKYH-TV when they were NBC back in the 1980s. But that's not all, here is a news open for the final WYMT newscast anchored by Tony Turner before his death. But wait, there's more, here's a WYMT news intro from 2000.

Anyone watching KTLA may have noticed they were "Baba-Booeyed" today.

Didn't share this news on here when it first happened, but George Elliott, former meteorologist for WECT, feature reporter for WWAY, and OCM for The Weather Channel in the 1980's is back in the hospital with an infection from the injuries he suffered after being hit by a truck on his bicycle last month. http://www.wect.com/story/38433066/former-wect-meteorologist-george-elliott-back-in-the-hospital Wilmington Police are still looking for the hit-and-run suspect.

As we close out the week, here's a WTAE 11pm newscast from November 21, 1991. In the memory of Joe DeNardo.

9/11 channel surfing, my guess is in Pittsburgh?

That’s what 3 doesn’t understand about this market right now. There’s no room for nonsense fluff pieces. 10 got better of an investment in hard news, not crap.

I do hear it a little bit.

Oops, didn’t get your notification on this one Also those graphics were possibly done by Calico. They also did work for KREM and WPXI around the same period: In other news, a tribute to the late, great Nick Michaels:

The earliest instance of “Good evening, friends” found thus far. 1976, massive truck accident involving 7500 gallons of ammonia. It got reuploaded earlier in the month, but this case, you hear Dave teasing the “film stories” with Move Closer playing.

Old KYW 1060 commercial from 1984.

Here’s a REAL rarity for ya...

Lol, I know. Just takes some getting used to. Prepping us for the O&O graphics. Hahaha.
