3:04 - Maybe the teleprompter said "woman" instead of "man"? Anyone catch this?

I remember an Edye Tarbox- a vj at VH1 back in the mid 1980's, but I'm not sure if that's her or not.

Why was he fired??? I always wondered why he seemed to just not appear on air one day--very mysterious.

I don't remember Edye Tarbox, but I do remember Rehema Ellis.

So was it by late 1991/early 1992 that they got the Gari theme?

[mhzbri]

It's "Garden City" from John Tesh... Same album as The news open cut is on. That track is "Shock". They also used a cut off that same album for The War segment.

What song playing at 6:34?

[Sulla2300]

Poor Todd Gross. That terrible channel 7 manager had him fired and as a reward for his service he was escorted out of the building..

My third birthday

Nope, he was given the axe in 2005. I believe he permanently moved out to Salt Lake City.

I think it was for budget reasons. From what I remembered it was expensive to run a whole hour of a 5:00 newscast, on top of a whole hour of a 6:00 newscast. WHDH/NETV was almost in bankruptcy at that time.
