I grew up with Roz Abrahams Bill Beutel Bill Ritter Diana Williams and the Late Robb Hanrahan who died two years ago of a Heart Attack Roz and Robb Hanrahan made a wonderful duo at WABC7.
Fascinating to watch in retrospect the morning after such historical landmark. And the discussion amongst talk show hosts n analysts of what was happening at the moment.
Biggest Mistake Fox GDLA has ever done. Getting rid of Jillian, Barberie, and Dorothy, Lucy and Steve Edwards the show has never been the same. I stopped watching channel 11 after they were gone. It’s never recovered.. SAD
It is the lost peppermint mine coming after the extended versions of we are Santa’s elves and a couple of misfits from the original 1964 version is before the misfit toy rescue from the 1965 version rerunning on this channel this year!
I was a year old when Al Roker was the new kid on the block. Love the footages from early 1980 & Dec 1983 when they started Ch 4 and returned to their native homeland. Both Sue Simmons & Al Roker were in Washington DC in the 70s where Sue was on WRC Ch 4 with Willard Scott and Al was on WTTG Ch 5.
You wondered why The Enforcer was rebranded to the CBS Enforcer the year before? Ch2's theme at the time was Series II of Enforcer, commissioned by Fox's KRIV.(and while they didn't use Series III, NBC's WVIT commissioned that one.) To me Series 2 will always be #Fox26ForLife lolz. When other flagship groups add onto the theme you now know why CBS felt the need to allow only affiliates or O&Os to use any of that type of notes. But that's Illrelevent today as V/CBS has gone towards Dimensional for their musical branding probably for now on.
After Hugh Downs' final show, the Night Team News at 10:00 with Josh Thomas and Brenda Ladun, and followed by Friday Night Blitz '99 with Mike Raita and Jeff Speegle.
