Hi There! My dad, Bill Bailey, started at WOC in the 60's and was there through about 1975...he came back the Quad Cities and worked at WQAD in the early 80's so I suspect that's when this promo was made. If anyone knows of any other promos with my Dad I'd love to see them (as I'm sure he would)! Thanks!
I'm gonna say late spring, early summer 1981. That's Mike Bille's voice on the promo and he was news director until about mid-81. Natelle didn't show up until spring 81, after Terry Zahn shipped off to Norfolk.
Wow, this was a blast from the past. When was this promo done? I looks like maybe mid to late 70's? Bill Bailey was doing weather on WOC prior to this and Thom Cornelis is now on KWQC, I think.

Jim King's son, Kris Ketz is a legend in his own right in Kansas City at KMBC. Anyone got a copy of the newscast where they anchored together?

LOL @ 0:18 Live color radar! That's hilarious. Looks smaller than a 12" TV.
