Part 1 - WTVC Action News from November 1976

This is part 1 of an almost entire WTVC Action News broadcast from Nov. 1976. News Anchor Bob Johnson, Weathercaster Don Welch and Sports with Darrell Patterson. I've purposely left the commercials on the clips for your enjoyment. The WTVC news theme during this time was "Part of Your Life".

I apologize for the poor video quality as this obviously was recorded off-air before the advent of cable TV. The color burst drops out at times.

@StukInBuf I found out that WGR, Channel 2 in Buffalo(before they added Z as part of their call tag) also used this theme in the mid or late 70s.

The channel 9 logo looks like it was used at WFTV in Orlando sometime later...

@tpledger These Shop Rites have nothing on Shop Rite in New York and much of the Northeast.

@rustyshackleford01 I have an uncle and aunt who lived in Dalton. They're in Houston, but want to live in Norcross or thereabouts.

The theme was used at WBRZ/Baton Rouge for "Eyewitness News" with Mike Collins and Carol Kloss in 1978.

An ad for leisure suits. If that isn't the '70s for you, what is?

This could have been recored on a reel to reel video recorder. But you could buy vhs in 1972 but they were high dollar.

I own a few open reel units they will recored tv with a adapter. Just search reel to reel video recorder. .
