Here is the open from WABC's 1996 Eyewitness Newscast. Roz Abrams, Greg Hurst, and Sam Champion are no longer at the station today. Nonetheless, they were great icons of WABC prior to their dismissal.

  • Who is that sitting between Sam champion and Diana Williams at the 18 second mark? Could that be Dr. Jay?

  • Thats Art McFarland.

  • this video can be considered a prediction of what was to come next. Now Diana Williams is actually the 5 p.m. anchor, upstaged by that damn Liz Cho. I, for one miss Diana at 6 and 11 p.m. Now all we can hope for is that she have to fill in for the child-bearing Cho. Anyone care to comment to the contrary?

  • Nope, absolutely wrong. Diana Williams <i><b>WAS</b></i> the co-anchor for Eyewitness News at 6 and 11. With Bill Ritter, she decided to lighten her workload to spend more time with her family in 2003. Roz Abrams was a runner-up to replace Williams but Liz Cho was chosen instead. So since then thats how things have been. Williams occasionally fills in for Liz. Those fill-in broadcasts were very reminiscent of the way things were before.

  • I look back at this open and cannot believe that I ever wore my hair like that. Nor that I wore that shirt on-air.

    I hate WCBS-TV for screwing me around.

    Good Afternoon, everybody. I'm Roz Abrams.

  • Greg Hurst Went to KHOU in Houston
