That was incredible! Thank you for sharing this episode of Eyewitness News with us. I was 1 when this aired and to see what NYC was like when I was a baby is amazing. If you have anymore newscasts from that time (1980) please share them with us cause I'd love to see more newscasts from that time. Peace.

Future Intended Spouse saying her half first: "And that's what it's all about [day-date-year]," modeled after Cronkite's closing line (and that's the way it is).
Me saying my half last: "life is a cheerful buffet with opportunity desserts, so don't fill up on negativity bread."

Grimsby and Beutel's dual sign-off:
Roger saying his half first - "Hoping your news is good news, I'm Roger Grimsby."
Bil saying his half last - "...Good Luck and Be Well."
I would like to have a woman with the same career aspirations as me (news anchor) - husband and wife anchor team - and we would model that sign-off after Bill and Roger's, with a mix of Cronkite thrown in.

Wow...I watched the whole thing, and the retromercials made it! As for an aside comment...TV Guide really isn't the same anymore.

The closing line for TV Patrol was "Hanggang Bukas/sa Lunes, Magandang Gabi, Bayan!"

As someone so deftly pointed out in part one of this Eyewitness News set... if Storm Field is not an appropriate name for a weathercaster, what is?

@StukInBuf this theme music for GMA's "News at Seven" and RPN's "Newswatch" was Cool Hand Luke: The Tar Sequence?

The brief WABC/FCC notice (brief in terms of how much was on this before it ended) sounds like it was V/O'd by George Ansbro.

Funny, in 1980 the weather was least important - today, it's the sports.
