bmasters1 403 Posted June 24, 2014 Share Posted June 24, 2014 Did you know that in 1981, there was a broadcast of ABC WNT that had Peter Jennings not in his normal bureau of London, but in Frankfurt, West Germany? This was from 1/20/81, and I was quite surprised to see it. Link to comment https://localnewstalk.net/topic/13692-abc-news-in-frankfurt-west-germany-1981/ Share on other sites More sharing options...
WWUpdate 1292 Posted June 24, 2014 Share Posted June 24, 2014 Here's that newscast on YouTube: Part 2: Part 3: U.S. hostages held in Iran were released that day -- in the wake of Reagan's inauguration -- and West Germany was one of the stops on their way to the U.S.; that's why Jennings was anchoring from ABC's Frankfurt bureau. I was also surprised that to see that the bureau was equipped to take on the role of a fully functioning news studio.

I had seen bureaus in Chicago and L.A., as well as D.C. and NYC, but prior to now, none from anywhere else (at least, none that I can recall; I may be incorrect).
