PAnderson1 27 Posted October 10, 2015 Share Posted October 10, 2015 I'm starting to think WABC saw "Gotta Listen to Lonnie" from WCBS and then did this.

brianpr3 178 Posted October 10, 2015 Share Posted October 10, 2015 Also the "he is Sam Champion.." to the tune of Queen's "We Are The Champions". actually that was a farewell video behind the scenes not aired, and it also mentions the 2 promos i said earlier Link to comment https://localnewstalk.net/topic/11653-wabc-7-eyewitness-news/page/44/#findComment-137115 Share on other sites More sharing options...
wabceyewitness 818 Posted October 10, 2015 Share Posted October 10, 2015 Actually it did air on television and that behind the scenes farewell video is a longer version of the farewell video shown on air. The anchors singing, of course,was not in the actual promo but the words and tune certainly were and so were the start/end clips of the real promo shown in the tribute video. I've included them in this post. Also, if you search through this forum, you'll find posts from 2007 talking about it.

LFk 7 Posted October 11, 2015 Share Posted October 11, 2015 new promo for lee goldberg https://www.facebook.com/video.php?v=10153267597564091 It's a cool promo. Quirky and memorable, yet it's not corny. Btw... am I correct in noticing an interesting flux/shift in reporters? Renee Stoll seems to have disappeared as fast as she appeared. Darla Miles seems to have gone MIA again, which is a shame because she is SO talented. And there are two new folks in the form of Mallory Hoff and CeFaan Kim, both of whom seem quite good. Thoughts or insight? Link to comment https://localnewstalk.net/topic/11653-wabc-7-eyewitness-news/page/44/#findComment-137157 Share on other sites More sharing options...

wabceyewitness 818 Posted October 12, 2015 Share Posted October 12, 2015 Don't forget about this classic one... That was such an awful promo especially given the fact that Channel 2 soon replaced John Bolaris with a Sam Champion look-alike. 1 Link to comment https://localnewstalk.net/topic/11653-wabc-7-eyewitness-news/page/44/#findComment-137183 Share on other sites More sharing options...

wabceyewitness 818 Posted October 22, 2015 Share Posted October 22, 2015 WABC took the rare step Wednesday of pushing back by 13 minutes the start of Jimmy Kimmel so they could stay on the air until the Mets won the NLCS Penant to advance to the World Series. The 11pm team ad libbed for about 5 minutes starting at 11:34 until the Mets officially won at 11:39. Eyewitness News stayed on air until 11:48 covering the reaction in throughout the city and in Chicago. Jimmy Kimmel aired in full once the news signed off.

ns8401 941 Posted October 23, 2015 Share Posted October 23, 2015 During the preview for the next episode of Nashville at the end of Wednesday's episode there was a WABC lower third with logo present on a DVR one of the characters was using. The "story" on the lower third was in canon for that show. Time and temp were turned off for the graphic. I just barely caught it as it flew by as I fast forwarded to my local 11pm newscast and managed to pause it. Pretty neat.

I just barely caught it as it flew by as I fast forwarded to my local 11pm newscast and managed to pause it. Pretty neat. They used WABC last year, too, for a story taking place in New York. What's funny is that in this most recent episode, the WABC news segment (logo, graphics and all) was supposedly watched live by characters in multiple cities including Atlanta and Nashville. So I guess WABC has become the default TV station for every city in the fictional "Nashville" storyline.

24994J 5568 Posted November 2, 2015 Share Posted November 2, 2015 That's also one of the new Ford Transit vans. I'm pretty sure any new vans at WABC have been Nissans.
