WCAU - 1993 - Channel 10 News at 11

A rather celebratory Channel 10 News from October 13, 1993. The newscast came on late due to CBS network sports coverage, but nobody seemed to care.

I'll let you figure it out.

Ken Matz and Jane Robelot anchor, Ron Burke was the 11pm sports anchor and the legendary Herb Clarke is on weather. J.J. Maura - LONG time voice of 10 - handles voiceover.

The anchors wearing Phillies caps, Jane Robelot is dressed in a red blazer, and there's a bottle of champagne (or perhaps sparkling fruit juice) with two champagne flutes at the anchor desk? Are you kidding me??

Where's the Fairness Doctrine when you need it?

Philly is a sports town so ALL the local newscasts get like this when one of the teams makes a playoff run - most notably if the station is carrying the playoffs or if they carry team programming. Fox 29 turned all of its set lighting red when the Phillies won the whole thing this year. KYW moved its entire 6 and 11pm newscasts to Jacksonville when the Eagles made it there in 04.

Judging by the way everyone acted on set, I'm also fairly sure that was champagne.

You wouldn't happen to have footage of Herb Clarke doing the weather would you? As memory serves, and keep in mind I was all of 9 at the time, Herb kept his hat on during the forecast and well...it looked like part of his head got keyed out.

[HulkieD]

I did check that segment. Herb did keep the hat on, and yes, it did look like his face was randomly disappearing throughout the weather segment.

Yes, I'm encoding it.

[NewsFan2]

Love the hats. Stations should do this today..

Ah yes...and how did the Phillies' "Dream Season" end in '93?

"Touch 'em all, Joe...you'll never hit a bigger one than this!!"

GO JAYS GO!

@sofaspud5710 YEA JAYS!!

But... in fairness to the Phillies, they got another shot 15 years after this... and won it all against Tampa Bay.

RIP Ken Matz. I had No idea that Ken Matz worked for WITI, KGO, and WMAR prior to comming to Philly. Look at KGO 40 th anniversary part 7 8 or 9. Ken Spent some time in the Bay Area.

I just read that story on the North East Radio Watch website, the site didn't state the cause, but its sad. RIP Ken.
