NICE intro ! The red LED digital numbers are simply awesome.WNBC had the same music,but without the red LED's.Local TV news today is incredibly boring.
@DrSurprise That's because NBC owned WKYC at the time.
Del Donahoo and Tom Sweeney were rarities in that they stayed with Channel 3 for several decades during NBC ownership, otherwise the network operated WKYC as a "farm team" primarily for WNBC-TV (Al Roker was the most notable 'promotion.')
@myronfalwell You are very well informed regarding the local TV news industry.Prior to this Roker was at WTVH Syracuse which does not even have their own local news anymore ! (they get it from WSTM now).
i remember that night my mother was killed saving tom sweeny live it was 1985 jan 16 on a wensday evening in ravenna ohio she was ran over by two cars saving his live. god bless them both she,s buried in streetsburle ohio
thanks for you respond. yes it was on live tv, tom sweeny and his news team were coming back from filming in ravenna oh when they stoped to film a car wreck, my mother was also there , and while they were talking a line of cars came down the road and hit her twice.was a sad day for a lot of people

Was this the last time WKYC has ever had a 5 or 5:30pm newscast?

I know in the late '80s-early '90s, they had the First Report. I know it didn't last long, but I don't know exactly how long it lasted.
