By far the worst open the station has ever had. Not only do you take your logo and have it drop off the screen this was during that gawd-awful weather now crap. Every newscast started like this. This includes a bit of the morning news, I left it on because it has Guy Sharpe.

  • Did Jill say "11NEWS"?

  • @videonut33 She did. They went about a year as 11 News while the station stayed as 11Alive. They were back to 11Alive News by the Olympics.

  • awsome how did you get this video

  • just rolled on it one morning for no real reason. I keep finding things as I go through my VHS collection, though summer has put the breaks on that activity. I'll pick it back up again when it's cold.

  • Jill will be stepping down from 11Alive's morning anchor position at the end of next month (August, 2011)... I'll miss seeing her. Chris is still there, and still a very good weather forecaster/meteorologist. Lot of great memories.

  • Heh, this was a long time ago. I doubt 11Alive would hold a "live celebration" from South Cobb Drive today!

  • @jwgreek8606 11Alive News Today might've been on since 1980 when they traded the Alphabet (ABC) for peacock feathers (NBC) and also, this year, 'XIA is celebrating their 30th year as an NBC affiliate and being owned by Gannett.

  • 11 Alive news today must have been on as long as WXIA was an NBC affiliate or did it come on when it was still an ABC affiliate?

  • I respectfully disagree about this opening. I liked it. But I have a good reason. I lived in the Macon area and we got Atlanta TV on cable back then and trust me on this one. This was far better than what we had locally at the time, which was only 2 news stations. We have three local stations with news now and ironically, its the NBC station that does a "weather first" segment before the start of the newscast.

    You can see it in one of my videos as I do have one that includes the local open

  • I worked with Chuck for three years at WNEG 32 in Toccoa, GA. He just retired from there recently.

  • This is when they first used the current 11Alive logo.
