I highly doubt today's Scripps will want anything to do with a highly-paid, older anchor. Sad but true.

Ira Joe was hired in July 1983, but did not start until August 15, 1983 as part of Eyewitness News Extra at 4:30 pm. By August 1985, Ira Joe was upset with the fact that Storm Field was the main "banana' at Channel 7 and Cincinnati offered him a daytime talk show. So on August 20, Bill Fyffe confirmed they would release Ira Joe after September 6 to return to WKRC in Cincinnati.

"Scanner Bud" in San Diego reports that Sandra Maas is gone from KUSI-51. Bud also reports that "Assignment Desk Les( Lester)" is gone from KFMB-TV-8 after 20 years on the night side assignment desk.

I have a special treat for all of you this evening, because I have a *VERY RARE* look at KRDO from 1980 in the form of a news montage. KRDO's logo looks something like what WVEC in Norfolk used at the time. Please watch, because it has a ID and news open included at the beginning along with a news set that has been used at KATV in Little Rock and other stations. Oh wait...here is KRDO two years earlier in 1978. Yes, KRDO used the ABC News Theme by Score Productions to open its newscast.
