Info Junkie 1285 Posted August 8, 2018 Share Posted August 8, 2018 The Raleigh playlist continues... Is it just me or does Bill Leslie look A LOT like Austin anchor Ron Oliviera? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bmasters1 377 Posted August 9, 2018 Share Posted August 9, 2018 What I wonder is why, in one of those WTVD openings, the main anchors are mentioned by name, but weather and sports are referred to generically (meaning that there are weather and sports segments, but the people on those are not mentioned)? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

WAVY 10 Fan 232 Posted August 10, 2018 Share Posted August 10, 2018 From Chicago, WGN's news from 1972; the crash of United Flight 553 is the top story (w/ sound issues at the beginning): CBS News correspondent Michelle Clark died in the crash. Thus creating one of the biggest "what could have beens" in the history of network television news; as CBS was reportedly planning to add her to the 60 Minutes team in 1973 (as it was, the first black member of the 60 Minutes team would be when Ed Bradley took the spot vacated when Dan Rather was promoted to CBS Evening News anchor; while 3 years later Diane Sawyer would be the first woman to be a correspondent for the series). Also among the dead in that crash were Illinois Congressman George Collins and Dorothy Hunt (wife of E. Howard of the then-brewing Watergate scandal; reportedly carrying about $10,000 in hush money) 6 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Info Junkie 1285 Posted August 11, 2018 Share Posted August 11, 2018 https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=oY6yHk42wN8 A WTEN report on the band C. Jane Run from around their first stint using Primetime News (this is definitely NOT 2001.) Also at this point I won’t be taking requests anymore - not that I did anyway. No offense but I find it to be too stressful and i already have a list of areas going anyways. @T.L. Hughes I’m sure they did that on your videos too when you were doing compilations... I am also actually at the very bottom of my current list already, so after finishing up Shreveport (yes I’m going there) and a few others, I’ll be back to rummaging through NewsActive3’s mounds of compilations. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Info Junkie 1285 Posted August 12, 2018 Share Posted August 12, 2018 From the same channel that brought you the rare 1991 WNYT clip on St. Patrick’s Day comes a “NewsCenter 6:30” segment from that same day two years later: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=TrRJwJHqjeo Btw how long was Marty Aarons at WRGB? A Reddit post made a joke about how he “didn’t even last 42 weeks replacing a guy that lasted 42 years (Ernie Tetrault),” meaning he wasn’t there long. Also, a newspaper article @scrabbleship shared with me on this thread a few months ago said Ernie retired on May 27, so possibly Marty was brought in to replace him. Anyways, thanks to YouTube channel wpdehistory, I was able to make this: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1sT45XDVneQ 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
