@wtvg1 They never completely "retired" the name, it just kept getting more and more marginalized as "Fox 5" branding took over in 1997 after Fox bought the New World stations. Now "Eyewitness News" is only used for the "#5" phone plug, as you see here. At least it is still used somewhere.
I guess they're trying to keep the other stations from using the 'Eyewitness News' name. Although WSB would never switch from Action News, and WXIA wouldn't make the mistake of switching from 11 Alive again like they did in the mid-90's, so I guess they're just picking on WGCL.
I like Amanda; I remember the Candy story.

They Won't Bring Back Chris Clausen Because He's Dead Now.

He wasn't 9 months ago when I posted that comment. I still think they should use a better known voiceover though. Maybe Charlie Van Dyke?

They haven't been "Eyewitness News" since 1997

They still ask people to call "Eyewitness News" when they see news.
