Jim Paymar went over to KRON-TV in 1984 and teamed up with Roz Abrams for 2 years before Roz moved to WABC and then Sylvia Chase went to KRON in 1986 before Jim Paymar left in 1989.
Sounds then like Ms. Corsen went from WOR/Ch. 9 (where she'd been a staff announcer) to Ch. 7 about this time - probably explains her now announcing for ABC's "World News This Morning."
I think so. And also, 1981 was the last year channel 7 had the 4:30 Movie. Matter of fact, a few days after this promo it was Thanksgiving, which meant college football. After that, an NYC TV tradition dating back to 1968 ended.
In This Clip, From 0:36 To 0:39, It Was WABC-TV's The Wrecking Crew Video ID For Late Monday Afternoon, November 23, 1981.

The Jets' 16-15 come-from-behind win over Miami was just a few hours after the Buffalo Bills came from behind to beat the Pats, 20-17.
Of course, those were the days when the Pats stunk up the joint... not so today.

I'd still like to see the full Datsun Truck ad.
BTW...Regarding Jim Paymar, is he retired?
ScottBrown717 4 years ago
No. He runs a communications company in New York State hence his last name.

Who would the announcer mentioning "The Wrecking Crew" have been - sounded almost like Barbara Corsen there . . .

It's Barbara Corsen on the 4:30 Movie Promo

Thought so - and thanks for the confirmation. Would you know when she joined Ch. 7 and the ABC network?

Don't know when she joined Channel 7, but I heard the voice on the promo to confirm it was her.

Great Video, Iwould have loved it even more if you had the full Datsun ad included.
