And if they do, 6ABC Action News in the City of Brotherly Love, and Eyewitness News in the Windy City on WLS ABC7, will be forever changed.

Just noticed, and liked, and thank you.

You might want to edit that-- scrolled to that time, and the show was still going; it actually starts 30 min. later (2:58:50), and only has the first 15 minutes.

9:51 of this one has a talent billing segment that has action video of the anchors in their functions.

WMAQ Chicago late edition 1984:

That, and shooting/framing Morgan Ashley in front of the backdrop/screen w/the main story as if someone else was with her in the main studio; with only one main anchor, the camera should customarily be full on that main anchor (the two-shot format should only be used when there are actually two people in the shot).

One of quite a few NBC stations then to be of Eyewitness News-- none have it now (WBRE Scranton/Wilkes-Barre, PA is now 28 News, ditching EWN sometime last year; they were the last holdout).

Really like how the talent here is billed w/the "stack-the-name-from-top-to-bottom" routine, with each name turning yellow at the bottom.

I never realized Randy Scott was a stage name/pseudonym; I thought that was his real name (never knew he was really Larry Herbst).

You bet-- never thought in my lifetime that KGO would be EWN there in San Francisco, just like w/the City of Angels (KABC), Windy City (WLS) and Big Apple (WABC).

Bumping this up: CBS Sunday Morning, week of June 2, 1985 (has a Wazee Digital watermark, but I'll live with it, if it means seeing Sunday Morning in its prime from then)

You're right-- that was NBC's Let's All Be There promo music of '84, as used for KNBC in the City of Angels for News 4 LA.

Indeed-- if you're billed as talent in a major network station's local newscast (regardless of your function), you need to look like you take pride in being there and part of it (would have been worse if the shoes were dirty).

KNBC L.A.: 1984 News 4 LA promo w/remastered video, and stereo theme music (still a shame that didn't last as long in the City of Angels as News 4 New York did on WNBC in the Big Apple)

Not necessarily-- it still works with me.

WEWS TV-5 Eyewitness News, complete evening edition and mostly complete late edition, for Friday, December 4, 1987... WCHS Eyewitness News 8 evening edition, for Thursday, November 15, 2001... Plenty more where those came from; channel has mostly Dothan and Panama City, with some Cleveland.

Sad to hear-- wonder how his longtime evening edition co-anchor Shara Fryer is reacting.

45 years ago today: Walter Cronkite in Washington on the CBS Evening News, the Lennon death the top story:

That's how it is down here with me as well in South Carolina.

Jerry Taff is departed now at 85... https://www.jsonline.com/story/news/2025/10/27/longtime-wisn-12-milwaukee-anchor-jerry-taff-dies-at-85/86938165007/

Bob Trumpy, former NBC Sports commentator, among other things, is now departed at 80. https://www.espn.com/nfl/story/_/id/46817999/bob-trumpy-ex-bengals-te-broadcaster-dies-80 Screenshot from 1982 Orange Bowl DVD of Trumpy:

CBS broadcast of 1985 NBA Finals (then World Championship) Game 4, from the old Forum in Inglewood, CA, from WJBK Channel 2 in Detroit, when that was CBS in the Motor City (has more than Warner Bros.' Lakers 1985 Return to Glory DVD had, much more [commercials, At The Half, CBS Newsbreak, full closing credits, you name it]).

Sorry for two posts in quick succession here, but wanted to address this as well-- if Bret does go to CBS, then I don't know what will become of Special Report (really the only actual news-reporting program that FOX "News" has had); they may remove that, and put another opinion show in that slot, and then FOX "News" will become a true 24-hour opinion channel.

I think in this instance that Local 10 is the branding of the channel, and World News is the name of the broadcast on Local 10.

I wish WTHR was still of this format 30 years later, instead of becoming just 13 News (unfortunately, profit is king apparently, so Eyewitness went out the window in 2022).
