Yeah - it was the 80's - big hair was the thing. Check out the clip of "NewsCenter11" from December 1981 to see the dramatic difference in the look of the program. A ton of money was thrown into that station and eventually it went from a poor #3 to the #1 station in the market.
Where did John Bachman go?? LOL @ Di's hair...holy crap!!
I saw her at the State Fair a couple of years ago and she is absolutely TINY in person. If she weighed 100 lbs, I'd be surprised, but I think her hair was about 2 lbs or more in this era...LOL!!
A Burger King salad bar? wtf?

This is GREAT. Thanks for posting!
I've recently posted an entire WTCN Sunrise newscast, with John Bachman behind the desk as well...
I'm flipping out from some of these spots between the tease and the news itself. H&R Block is super scientific!

Now that is some serious "Yuppie" news -- I picked up on Kare11 in the late 80's/early 90's.
Had no Idea Diana Pierce's hair was ever that big. The first generation of news reporters to benefit from age discrimination laws.
