Was going to post it here but I see I don't have to. I was shocked to see this totally random newscast today. The townhouse fire at the end of the clip was in the complex my family lived in at the time, we were two townhouses down from the one that caught fire. And that's my dad who Tom Monahan asked if the neighbor was a smoker. I remember that from when it aired back then, but I definitely wasn't expecting to see that clip on YouTube almost 23 years later. Pretty cool.

sfomspphl 490 Posted September 23, 2020 Share Posted September 23, 2020 2/29/92 KNBC Weekend clip - didn't realize they kept the jazzy sax close into 1992.

24994J 5552 Posted September 27, 2020 Share Posted September 27, 2020 I don't know that the WBBM VO switch had much to do with content, at that point. Chapin began working for WFLD around that time, and WBBM likely wanted someone that can bring a similar growl to the position. At a later point, WMAQ would bring in Charlie Van Dyke, when they were moving to a more tabloid format. A lot of copycats in Chicago in the mid-90's. 1 Link to comment https://localnewstalk.net/topic/869-classic-video-thread-pre-2008/page/365/#findComment-251317 Share on other sites More sharing options...
