29:44 - WMC-TV Memphis (riverboat whistle)

This was actually the 10pm edition, that ran for 30 minutes while the 5:00 newscast was an hourlong leading into NBC Nightly News @ 6

The technology sure has changed a lot since the days of weather, maps and temperature. No green screen or CGI you had a board with a pointer

Wow! A real mighty blast from the past. I love ACTION NEWS 5 and I love MEMPHIS.

Jarvis Greer is now retired from WMC and Memphis TV news after 43 years. Good luck to you, Jarvis.

The date of this newscast is Tuesday, January 19, 1982

Retro Man Mike, this would be the January 19, 1982 10 pm edition of WMC-TV Action News 5 Update at 10.

Funny I have been watching Dave Brown do the wrestling on Memphis tv all these years and tonight was the first time I ever saw him do his day job

Retro Man Mike. You got power, my friend.. SUPER RETRO POWER of the 80s.
