Maybe 2 years. I remember one day she was anchoring at 5pm on WTSP and then a couple of months later I see her co-hosting the (1992?) Fiesta Bowl parade on New Years Day on NBC as she had just joined KPNX. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

She joined WTSP in early 1989 with the intent that she would replace Sheryl Browne. The ND, Terry Cole, was arrested in the computer scandal, and subsequently fired. I read a news article that said Mr. Cole was "infatuated" with her. I suspect he had her in mind for a spot down the road when he was leading KWCH prior to coming to Tampa. So Jineane continued on the 5:00 show until fall of 1991, I believe. Edited October 28, 2020 by 8Viewer Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

KTVK (1986–89) WTSP (1989–91) KPNX (1991–) From the article on her arrival at KPNX: Ford said she has been looking for another job for about nine months. "It wasn't working out here (at WTSP)," she said, adding that ownership problems "have made it a really unhappy shop." She was apparently headed to Dallas if not for KPNX reaching out! t also is worth noting that the view from Tampa was that, when Cole and Barresi left, it ended her dreams of replacing Sheryl Browne at WTSP. (She was replaced there by Sue Zelenko.) Edited October 28, 2020 by Samantha 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That set is the "fishbowl" - the main newsroom and headquarters of CBS News in New York, used from Dan Rather in the 90s up until Scott Pelley and the Evening News moved into the current CBS This Morning studio next door. It's still their newsroom - but it got a remodel and is only sparingly used on air. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Oh yeah, Combined loved it some Alive. (WPTA kept that slogan through several transactions!) Seems to have mostly been used here in '77 and '78.

Samantha 2878 Posted November 1, 2020 Share Posted November 1, 2020 (edited) Ah yes, the Clarendon package! Very...different look for local TV. The theme they were using in the mid-2000s has to be another piece of David Miller work, even if the NMSA has no listing.

Info Junkie 1285 Posted November 1, 2020 Share Posted November 1, 2020 Possibly the oldest footage of an Ed Hopkins-voiced FULL open on a station (the January one got cut off): (Go to 1:00:19) By this point WNGE had phased out the GE ID in prep for their call letter and ownership change a month later. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
