WCBS 6PM News 1985

From WCBS New York, some highlights of the 6PM News in November 1985 with Jim Jensen, Rolland Smith, Dr. Frank Field, and Warner Wolf. Dr. Frank has some problems in weather with just a blank map and he doesn't get to sit on the set, just hangs out in front of the desk. At the end of the clip is a WCBS Editorial, something you don't see much of these days!

Great clip. Thanks for posting. This aired on Monday, November 25, 1985.

Still my favorite news theme. Even after some 25 years later!

@HulkieD I always thought of this set something akin to WINDOW BLINDS. Not very inviting. Plus yes, this open was from CCP.

I wonder if Paterniti challenged WCBS's broadcast license as a result of that editorial, and if he did, I wonder if WCBS management issued a formal apology just to keep him quiet.

Didnt Jim Jensen go bananas in the office?

Wow this takes me back.

Like what the CBS station in New York had weather with Dr. Frank Field, Portland's CBS station had Dr. John Walls with the weather. He retired in 1986.

And after Mr. Smith left WCBS, Ms. Martin became Mr. Jensen's co-anchor at 6 - while, at 11, Ms. Marsh was joined at the anchor desk by Mike Schneider.

Well, it wasn't always all men. When Jim Jensen and Rolland Smith anchored the 5PM and 11PM newscasts, respectively, they had female co-anchors. Jensen's co-anchor was Carol Martin and Smith's co-anchor was Michele Marsh.
