  • I was Los Angeles when this happened. My mother called me up at 7 o'clock (Los Angeles time) the next morning to tell me this.

  • @redoctober90 That was actually the WBBM I Love Chicago News Theme by Dick Marx. The CBS Enforcer package (which was composed by Frank Gari) was more of a follow up to the original package.

  • Was that the CBS Enforcer to open? Didn't think the package was THAT old. :(

  • Skydiving is just plain stupidity.If you do something this idiotic--pay the price !

  • Wow. What an amazing thing to watch, after all these years. I never watched channel 10's coverage, only channel 6. Thanks for this post. It really reminded me what a pro Jim was.

  • One of the saddest days in Philadelphia news broadcasting history...a memorable personality taken in his prime...
