Thus creating one of the biggest "what could have beens" in the history of network television news; as CBS was reportedly planning to add her to the 60 Minutes team in 1973 (as it was, the first black member of the 60 Minutes team would be when Ed Bradley took the spot vacated when Dan Rather was promoted to CBS Evening News anchor; while 3 years later Diane Sawyer would be the first woman to be a correspondent for the series). Also among the dead in that crash were Illinois Congressman George Collins and Dorothy Hunt (wife of E. Howard of the then-brewing Watergate scandal; reportedly carrying about $10,000 in hush money)

I've heard that WFMJ has hired some anchors for this new newscast.

KNBC, Los Angeles; 11 p.m., 1974 (go to 3:57 if not taken there automatically): https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=id=hlHK1R5qIbY;m=3;s=57 This theme is listed by NMSA as a close-only theme -- but here it's used for the open.

he might not want to return once he sees how far his dollar goes...and the better schools...nicer people...less traffic(much less) cheaper gas...less poo and needles...cheaper and better housing... ...and SANE normal people.

I can't even see PBB working in PHX because people are too well behaved in AZ. I'm really kinda shocked that nobody local in the B.A. picked him up. He is also a pretty solid beat reporter.

JUST as I uploaded a WTMJ open compilation... this gets uploaded.

IMO, Don Harris looks more like the late, great Chip Moody of WFAA.

Meanwhile, KRON's Stanley Roberts is leaving the Bay Area for the Valley of the Sun: http://www.ftvlive.com/sqsp-test/2018/8/9/big-loss-in-the-bay-area

What midday newscast anywhere has more than 2 midday anchors at one time? I know some stations have a rotation with weekend anchors, but that doesn't count.

What happened to Steve Lacey? Is Teresa Priolo going to be Dari Alexander new co anchor?

I'll soon report it on my blog. Speaking of the blog... while WNCN has expanded its noon newscast to a full hour as of yesterday, history was made over at Sacramento's KOVR when it has decided to move its 11:00 p.m. news from KMAX to KOVR and expand it to weekends. This means that KOVR has become the first BIG Three O&O station/affiliate to air 90-minutes of local news from 10:00-11:35 p.m. every night. https://changingnewscasts.wordpress.com/2018/07/31/small-minor-newscast-changes-221/
