Thanks to NewsRetiree for posting these clips. Today's newscasts can learn from the past. I love how the breaking news of the search for the body was handled... Clean, straight-forward, no loud animations or over-the-top hysterics. Plus, Kim Hendrew, in my opinion, was a fantastic anchor.
This is a great open for 1995. WMC is top notch. And to the posts below: I love their logo. I'm glad that they've kept it all these years, it looks great and the '5' is very unique.
Well, at the time, WREG had an AWESOME CGI open. Still, I concur, WMC IS Memphis top notch. I still don't get how Memphis is still such poor a city that it is.
Remember the logo TV 5 used when the station dropped the riverboat for a few years? The graphics WMC used (early Ellis Comm. era) resembled the graphics WSB used before Channel 2 went red, white, blue and gold.
That announcer's voice was doing the same voice over's for knbc 4 in l.a from hmmm 94 till 1999 "coverage you can count on"

I like all this better than all the "blings" and "whooshes" they use as graphics now.

This is a great theme for channel 5, and yes, the five is very well-known and unique. WMC has almost always had great graphics.

And to one thing: they still used that logo that resembles WSB's logo since 1993.

Who would have ever thought that Joe and Richard would become rivals. Rich at WREG, and Joe still at WMC after all these years.
