Houstontvnews, my cousin told me that Diana Fallis was let go after an embarrassing incident where she fell down on the newsdesk somewhere around 82-83 I think.
"Your Watching Channel 2, DWWX-TV Metro Manila, Number 1 in Metro Manila, The World Tonight with Angelo Castro, Jr. and Loren Legarda, Ces Oreña-Drilon on Business and Dyan Castillejo on Sports, now The World Tonight." -Doug Tisdale
Just curious... was Ms. Lawson the weekend anchor in 1978? I recall, about a month before turning 8, my folks and I lived in Louisiana(New Iberia) and used the early part of Thanksgiving week to see my uncle in Houston. After we got into the hotel, we turned on the 5:30 Eyewitness News show, and I recall someone looking like her at the anchor desk.
It was actually a woman named Diana Fallis who was also a reporter at the time. I might have a clip from the late 70s when she was anchoring, and I'll upload it when I find it!
this is so cool!

While, the RPN NewsWatch did use News Series 2000 from July 2, 1984 to February 28, 1986 and October 9, 1989 to September 30, 1994

StukinBuf, I think Melaine Lawson joined KTRK somewhere around 81 or 82 I'm not sure, but I'll check out the KTRK website.

Houstontvnews, do you also have the 1986 KTRK weekend 10pm newcast videos ?

Those KTRK graphics look like KGO's Graphics in 1988 and the open looks like they borrowed the ABC News Globe

You mean the Loren Legarda the VP with Villar was actually an anchor on ABS-CBN in 1985. When ABS-CBN used Cool hand Luke. Please upload it.

I think he reported on Channel 9 in New York in the late 80s/early 90s with Jennifer Valoppi.
