RE: that 2016 open in there that is inspired by the spinning world 80s and statue of liberty mid 80s opens - happened to run into Lester and his wife on the street and told him kudos to whomever did that work - it was really classy, approachable, identifiable work.

He was appreciative and liked it too. Wish the open lasted longer.

idk who opted for it to be replaced by the current 5 second trash intro.

Earliest NYC newscast I've seen overall. WCBS (1965) featuring Robert Trout.
