KCBS TV Action News Promos (1992)

[Kuahmel]

LOL@ the idea of someone in real life seriously saying "Quick, turn on Action News!!" There's nothing natural about that.

And is it just me or has Channel 2 long been the place for ugly station logos?

Ann Martin is better

It was either the very start of Applegate, or the last waning days of the career of one John Lippman.

it was the beginning of the end of john lippman. damn this promo is all tabloid.

applegate started by letting bree walker go and hiring ann martin from kabc.

Was it the same Bill Applegate from Chicago? The same disaster he did on WBBM. Applegate was god on WLS/WABC and the devil on WBBM/KCBS/KNXT.

KCBS's once-again failed attempt at ratings. They just never learn.

If I recall correctly, KCBS were tied for #2 when it went tabloid but GM Applegate changed things and it went downhill.
