It's a 4 day weekend and NBC did have someone ready....she was just on the west coast. You have talent, techs,producers and writers still on the clock in L.A. when the story broke....while NYC has maybe one person manning the phones at 2am on a Saturday morning.
Money is tight now, so it means nothing special that a late breaking story is handled by L.A.
Reminds me of when Paul Magers reported Muhammad Ali's death (also on a Friday night) from the KCBS newsroom. I think we have gotten so accustomed to see big stores reported out of NYC. Lets not forget LA is the #2 market. Colleen has been at KNBC for over 30 years and spent a few years at KCBS prior to going to KNBC. I didn't see her reporting, but I'm confident she did just fine. I usually watch her every night and respect her abilities.

It could be part of Colleen's contract to have a supporting role during the holidays. But Colleen has done special reports in the past for NBC News. She anchored breaking news coverage during the 96 Olympics.
That was different. Colleen was on scene covering the Olympics in Atlanta for KNBC when the bombings took place.

11PM October 1987 KNBC
From my favorite era at KNBC...
At around 24 min you get the jazzy Nightside closing music and a great wide shot of the set
My favorite era as well! I grew up in Southern California watching all the stations. Does anyone know who performed this jazzy cut? I know when you go to the NewsMusic archive page it says Michael Randall music, but I have scoured the internet and can't find any extended version (although this video is great). I would also like to hear Fred Roggin's sports theme from this era is well.

Nobody noticed that Bill Ritter and Rob Powers were wearing different shirt/tie combos in their single pics vs the group shot.
