1987 Year In Review (KPRC), 1987

A look back at 1987, courtesy of the Channel Two News Team and narrated by Charlie Van Dyke.

The end, in narration and text "Stay Tuned for '88", is interesting in that it foreshadows the number of changes that came on-air within the first few months of the new year. New music, sets, talent, updated graphics & a new news director made their mark early on.

Houstontvnews, I heard that then-Gov. Bill Clements (R) refused to shake hands with his predecessor, former Gov. Mark W. White (D) on live television at Clements' 2nd inauguration on January 20, 1987 in Austin, is it also true that these 2 hated each other ?
