[mustange550]

LOL 01 to 03 HA HA "Go for it!!"

From 1994 to be exact.

Van Earl sucked........we missed Bernie while he was gone.

[applesauce2100]

Van Earl was cool, and Bernie can't read the telepromter without having to ask Carmen, what she think and adding laughter and jokes to the sports report....just read the promter Bernie and get on with it u goof ball!

[kargaroc386]

never mind. but i have figured out that they DID call it "News4" even during the 1997 graphics, which are seemingly non existent.

News4: 1974-2000. i can prove this if you want.

[jdepley]

Ruth Spencer was sitting in for Carmen Harlan at the end of the video.

[kargaroc386]

Van Earl Wright looks like Stephen Dean, one of the investigators from WDIV's Houston sister station, KPRC Local 2.

[aneveningrose]

They all are still there sans Mort Crim and... that other guy that isn't Chuck Gaidica...

[brithgob]

Van Earl Wright was hired from CNN to replace Bernie Smilovitz, who went to WCBS in New York. When he fell victim to a mass firing there, he was quickly back in his old job at WDIV.

[vfreeck]

I remember this as a 1992 child.

[henrytvwhiz]
