Always keep in mind this is premiere week ratings. Let’s give it a month.

KCBA is in Salinas/Monterey and is FOX. You probably meant KBCA.

Henry, thanks for sharing these rare clips. I love the KPOM clips, because it features a rare look at “24 Express News” during the 1980s. Elizabeth Alex would later anchor in Kansas City. And it features a rare look at “NewsCenter NightBeat” with anchor Jerry Overton.

That is SOP for when there are tornado warnings. Nothing unusual about it at all.

Various reports from the 3 Ft. Smith stations newscasts from June 1985, beginning with the open to KHBS/KTVP's NewsCenter Nightbeat:

Yeah lol... After a good 12 years of "Stable KUSI" ...God only knows what the hell has happened inside. Somebody must be off the meds up in the front office...or else somebody at KUSI caught Tegna Flu and now wants to upend all the "good will" that was earned over the last decade or so. Go screw up your product...go piss-off those loyal viewers...I'm sure there is a "vision" in there somewhere. Just what is the"real" status of Paul Rudy? Is he a temp fill-in?...or was PPR just ripped out of his hands?

Don't forget WJZ in Baltimore. They just got a new set after 20 years. Many of their staff retired and the young ones have moved on to other markets.

That is true, but also how long was Kiernan steering the ship? Almost 10 years. As of Jeff Harris, I may be the only one but I am liking their newscasts. Especially not being afraid of leading the 10PM News with Investigations. It is a different product and I hope that Chicagoans do take notice of that fact. Just with Dave Savini's investigation of Sterogenics and the subsequent passing of Matt Heller and his last interview on CBS 2, that was great journalism. However, I would love to see Mai and Jim together again and a better morning news team. It was a mistake to have let Roseanne go. The 5,6 & 10pm should've been hers.
