Today we had Liz Cho at noon.

52 years in television news (mostly in Buffalo) ended today for Don Postles. He's now off to retirement.

I’ve noticed this, too. How bizarre. Cindy has anchored at WCBS for more than 30 years and can more than hold her own during breaking news. Either give her a permanent co-anchor or leave her solo at all times, including during breaking news. I could understand bringing in a co-anchor if coverage is expected go for over an hour, otherwise it feels weird. Separately, we are getting closer to Maurice taking over the Evening News and I haven’t seen any announcement regarding his successor at WCBS. I assume Allen Devlin was hired to take this role, but interestingly enough, he has only filled in some of the time, with Dick Brennan still filling in quite often. I would have expected Devlin to be at the desk as often as possible on the lead up to Maurice’s departure from WCBS.

It's a grandfathered in list thread, and serves as a convenient aggregate page since the algorithms of YouTube and other sites have made it harder to find this kind of stuff.

Quite the discovery last night in the basement here. I am getting these digitized today and will get some compilations uploaded to YT. A couple notes…the WKMG early 80s image campaigns and what is aka “Tuesday11” is called “Heart of…” and “Action News” is actually called “Look to Us” These reels are the master reels. I had previously found the station dubs that were in fairly poor condition. These reels are in pristine quality.
