Judging by the 10:55 in the corner, I'm going to guess this show ran way under time and nobody noticed because Tribune decided putting computers in the control room instead of actual people was a good idea.

WPRO (now WPRI); Providence, RI; 11 p.m. news, 1965:

I remember visiting my Grandparents in Western Michigan and WUHQ had a customized version of ABC's Still the One - We're Forty-One... Wish I had recordings - but "Why would anyone want to record TV?"... Jim

WJW Fox 8 is adding Amanda Berry to its news team. They've been advertising her arrival all day during the big game. Berry was one of the three women rescued from a Cleveland west side house after they have been kidnapped there and captured for over ten years until 2013. Monday morning at 8am is when they'll reveal what she'll be doing at Fox 8.

How can you have a show run that much under time and not notice? I don't doubt that whatever happened was a result of some sort of automation in master control. But a hard time out is a hard time out. Does their 10pm show maybe have a hard time out at 10:55? I just can't imagine a situation where the newscast is so light that they deliberately end it a few minutes early and/or nobody noticed. There's still at least a producer and director in the booth, and that would be very sloppy producing if that happened.
