It is an unreal, surreal & a superhuman stunt,Over 5 feet in the Air!!The NBA Will Never Ever Be Ready For This Kind Of Surreal Flying Elevation!!!!!!!

Jim Hill - Sportscaster - great personality and talent, however, I think one of the major things that will go down in broacast history is when he took a taxi from Narita Airport (Tokyo) to Nagano for the winter olympics. More than $700 in taxi fare! Whoops!

Thanks for your coverage of that time, Jim.

[lucernrox]

so dallas raines has always had a gay haircut

[sboudreaux27]

Dallas Raines looks like Pete Carroll.

[MisterMac10]

Jim Hill looks the same.

[bowlingballout]

Harold Green was such a tool.

[johnhs3SoCal]

That was the day a flying saucer was seen mixing it up with a Mexican air force formation over Mexico City, July 11, 1991.

[DA90027]

They should have kept that music.

[twel603]

I didn't know Jim Hill was on KABC. I thought he was with KCBS for practically his whole sports anchor career.

[Market42Fan]

@twel603 Looking back, I don't know what's funnier: Jim Hill at KABC or the fact that the guy taking his KCBS spot: Keith Olbermann.

[boicsunla05]

@twel603 That's funny because I didn't know either, so we both learned something today. I guess I have to pay attention to Wikipedia.

[fighterfate]

KVII-TV here in Amarillo, Texas also used the music

[2nd2nun1]

Jim Hill looked like he never fit in at KABC. Glad he's back at KCBS.

[q959fm]

Ernie Anderson RIP

[moshewx]

This looks like Ann Martin filling in, not Christine LUnd.

[sanjothebanjo]

it's Christine Lund.

[ThunderstormMan123]

This news open is great! I like the current one too.

[united772]

Also the fact that KCBS/KCAL management started at the Sports Department, makes CBS 2 and KCAL better in their coverage.

[Y2p731]

No problem.

[Y2p731]

You need to read my message again and his video to understand who I'm talking about. When Donohoe replaced Jim Hill. ABC 7's sports coverage just went downhill and CBS 2's is just outstanding to this day.

[StukInBuf]

I remember Dallas Raines 30 years ago... he was the chief meteorologist at Baton Rouge's WBRZ.

[MrSoprano0125]

I'm British and I don't know much about news personalities in America but didn't Jim Hill play American Football before?....

[united772]

He did and now works for KCBS-TV

[Y2p731]

Todd Donohoe sucked!!! KABC's loss is KCBS's gain.

[mbhfromla]

I heard that Harold Greene is far worse than Paul Moyer in personality.

[buzman1985]

Give me some Jim Scott and Robin Mangarin any day. KGET! Fuck LA.

[SabuPtolemy]

LOL @ Laura Diaz' hair!

Never cared much for Harald Greene - too full of himself and definitely 'the real Ron Burgundy'. And apparently proud of it.

[ButterflyOne1223]

That same group except for Dallas (Greene, Hill, Diaz) is now at KCBS.

[sky1beam]

and also KCAL9 ? By the way Did the News Director of 1991 KABC Move to KCAL and KCBS?

[united772]

The executive producer of the 11pm news, Roger Bell, was News Director at KCBS before being replaced by Princell Hair. LOS ANGELES, Dec. 4 /PRNewswire/ -- Princell Hair has been named News

Director of KCBS-TV, in Los Angeles, it was announced today by David Woodcock,

Vice President and General Manager, KCBS-TV. Mr. Hair succeeds Roger Bell,

who will be leaving the station.

Now Nancy Bauer Gonzales is ND of both KCBS and KCAL. She jumped to KCAL before the CBS transaction.

[buzman1985]

whoooooooooooooooooooooooo cares?

[kiteless123]

Who are they talking to?

[buzman1985]

I feel like this intro was the inspiration to make the movie Anchorman.

[abwvu1]

Who's the voice over guy in the opening? He has a very distinct voice.

[lviefortoday]

That's Ernie Anderson. He sadly passed away in 1997.

[leshaunfossett]

Harold Greene: The Real Ron Burgandy.

[nynewsguy7]

That's so true. Harold used to work at a San Diego station back in the 70's. Ron Burgandy looked just like Harold in every way.

[smarti20067]

dallad has been there forever, well all of them have but they moved, look at laura's hair

[ryukage99]

I remember that whole solar eclipse thing when I was 10.

[ytrewq1994]

Can anyone tell me who was that woman sitting next to Harold Greene in the open? Is it Ann Martin before she moved? And is the man sitting on Harold's right side Todd Donoho?

[puck220]

that guy looks like Donoho, but don't quote me on that

[ShawnieMac]

That had to be Laura Diaz, and that was Todd Donoho to Greene's right. After Donoho left KABC-TV, he did stay in the ABC family...he worked at 710 ESPN Radio locally, while also working at FSN West. He's somewhere working in Missouri now.

[dm85]

The lady next to Greene is Christine Lund. If you look at the clips from the late 70's & early 80's, you see she was the first female co-anchor of Eyewitness News. She left to raise family, came back to do the 4pm news, then left for good. Dallas still looks good after all these years.

[NotUTom]

Yes, that's definitely Christine Lund.

[lviefortoday]

Yeah, you can tell by the shape of her head... A bubble. I love Ms. Lund! Wander what she's doing now?

[puck220]

Man, it seems like Cool Hand Luke is the theme of KABC/WABC

[dingding3109]

Everybody except Dallas moved to KCBS and KCAL9

[dingding3109]

National 9 Australia Still uses Cool Hand Luke Today

[dingding3109]

wow

[united772]

Jim Hill doesn't age!

[mbhfromla]

KABC actually started using NS2k in January of 1992, same time as KGO.

[dinfg6]

KGO been using NS2K since 1984
