Do you have any more of this Nightwatch episode? And do you know its month and year?

[mr2del]

It was Halloween (October 31, 1983).

[Oppledeldoc]

Thank you. Do you have any bits of any others, from earlier in ' 83 or late ' 82? Or that anniversary show, which was also in October?

[mr2del]

Sadly, no. I was only 9 when this came out. This show ended before I graduated from High School in 1992. Hopefully, others have them. I'm sorry if I disappointed you.

[Oppledeldoc]

That's all right, thank you for answering. I'll just have to keep looking for earlier ones (I'm trying to find a particular host, who left before that October.)

[kresblain]

Also, did you notice that the first anchor mentioned it being the first hour? Only on a Sunday night/Early Monday morning would you hear that spiel. At least, that's how it was at the time, heh.

That set looks suspiciously like the WCBS set for the time (with the backdrop changed).

What was the special report about?

[brithgob]

Grenada, I'm guessing?

[damron13]

Jesse Jackson running for president, lol.
