Sorry for the bad info...you are right, Leon is very much alive thank goodness. I have to go back to the knucklehead who gave me some bad info...rock on Leon Bibb!
That set looks sooooo cheap. They had a much better set in the 70's for Doug Adair and Mike Landess. Their sets had racing stripes and the two main anchors sat at a desk several steps above the rest of the set. Leon Bibb looks just like Obama there.
Oh I know about Leon very well...and I can't remember the link now...but there's a site that has many former Cleveland broadcasters listed and what they're doing now. It was a good site...wish I could remember it.
I see that the opening music for this "Channel 3 News" was also used (albeit in a different section) for WXYZ-TV's "Cinema Seven" around the same time as this.
WXYZ used a lot of cuts from that Turn to News package for movie and special openers and promos, including, of course, the "Stand Up" promo campaign. But the package was never used on Action News itself -- they used Cool Hand Luke and News Series 2000.
I Believe This Was A Video Clip Of WKYC-TV's Channel 3 News At 6 Video Open From Late 1985.

WLS-TV in Chicago also used the "Stand Up" promo campaign, but they never used on Eyewitness News - they used News Series 2000.

The music from this news open was also used in an old 'Cinema Seven' opening (for WXYZ) as well.
