  • That was on a DVD-RAM wasn't it? Playing on a Panasonic player? I recognize the information dialog box.

  • Can' believe you were sharp enough to pick that up. But you are absolutely correct!

  • Cuts off right before Bob Mayer goes on; I would have liked to have seen that part since Mayer is still on the air down here.

  • There are several old Bob Mayer clips, including one where Renick throws to Mayer for the station's first live-shot. Copy and paste this:

  • Good evening everybody, While the day's Mayor's race continues, most other contests have been decided. And the candidates are now, either contemplating their defeat or celebrating their victory. Channel 4's Bob Mayer reports...

    They don't write headlines like that anymore...

  • @AndrewLGP I also have one of those and I didn't know that Ralph had kids.

  • I would have loved to see the footage with Bob Gallagher...I went to elementary school with his kids in Hollywood, FL

  • Does anyone have video of the tropical scenes (moving).

  • I thought it mightve been like that scene from "The Shining" where it showed Scatmann Crothers in Miami lying in bed watching the local news. Does anyone have any info where that piece is from...remember?

  • I also have a Panasonic player that can record to DVD-RAM. Mine is a DMR-ES10. It's very convenient for recording from another device. The VRO file on the disc can just renamed MPEG and be played with any media software. I've uploaded a number of videos recorded on the player via DVD-RAM.

  • "This is Ted Baxter. Good night, and good news!"
