bmasters1 377 Posted June 24, 2014 Share Posted June 24, 2014 Did you know that in 1981, there was a broadcast of ABC WNT that had Peter Jennings not in his normal bureau of London, but in Frankfurt, West Germany? This was from 1/20/81, and I was quite surprised to see it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WWUpdate 1290 Posted June 24, 2014 Share Posted June 24, 2014 Here's that newscast on YouTube: Part 2: Part 3: U.S. hostages held in Iran were released that day -- in the wake of Reagan's inauguration -- and West Germany was one of the stops on their way to the U.S.; that's why Jennings was anchoring from ABC's Frankfurt bureau. I was also surprised that to see that the bureau was equipped to take on the role of a fully functioning news studio. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I had seen bureaus in Chicago and L.A., as well as D.C. and NYC, but prior to now, none from anywhere else (at least, none that I can recall; I may be incorrect).
