Thanks for posting this! I was born two years after this newscast, and I never knew Rolland used to be on Channel 2 (I only remember watching him on Channel 9 without the mustache LOL). Michele has really transformed over the years. You could look at this video compared to a later WCBS or WNBC clip, and it seems like you're seeing two different people. John Tesh still looks the same like he does now.

I met the distinguished Mr. Smith about ten years ago or so. He looked years younger than in this 1980 presentation.

@radiodj1520 No way. Rolland Smith & Michele Marsh weren't the weekend anchors as of this video. It might've been the next night (September 22nd).

As a note, this is not the same Leon Klinghoffer. The one on board the Achille Lauro was an appliance manufacture, not a liquor store owner, nor loan shark. If you read about him, you will find absolutely nothing of any kidnapping, ransom, or loan sharking. Sorry to burst your bubble, but in spite of the name, these are two different people.

This brings so many memories growing up....I remember the events and the anchors

John Tesh doesn't look that much older now that he did 30 years ago.
