[bixpchiphead 105]

Bill Bonds, John Kelly and Marilyn Turner co-anchored a special edition of WXYZ-TV's "Action News @7" to celebrate Channel 7's 60th anniversary.

 

Billy also did a special commentary as part of this newscast...

No doubt about it, Bill's getting up there. But the classic style was still there. I enjoyed watching.

Wonderful! Absolutely Wonderful! Only in Detroit would you see something this inspiring! Bill Bonds anchors again! Sure he seems much older now, but nevertheless an inspiration.

 

No one would ever do this.

Thanks so much for sharing that link! I just watched all 4 parts and it just flew by...didn't even seem like 22 minutes. Bill's commentary was solid. Great stuff!

For what it's worth, WTHR in Indianapolis did something like this a few years ago as well.

Add WRAL to the list.

WTVR as well.

Never heard of this concept before, but it doesn't seem like a bad idea, as long as it was in a special time slot instead of a regular newscast.

Never heard of it either. I think WKYC turns 60 at the end of October. They should do something like that.

Makes me want to stand up and "tell 'em I'm from Detroit"!!! LOL!

Fantastic show.

They always have a 7PM newscast on weekdays, not just that day.
