In tandem with you. it was powerful.

I remember that intro, having grown up in Detroit. WXYZ received the award after its superb coverage of the crash of Flight 255 in 1987.
-
I wish I was the love child of Bill Bonds and Robbie Timmons.
-
I can remember the folks always tuning this, channel 50, 2, or even 4 in in the middle of the day and at night. Heh, oddly enough, the Lotto numbers popping up always had a distinct sorta tune... was interesting and different.
And heh, Robbie Timmons. There's a name I forgot about.
-
I also liked when the 5pm news was over and the VO announcer would say "Stay tuned to Channel 7 Action News 6pm with Rich Fisher, Doris Biscoe and Detroit's First News Team." and you would see them walking to the set as he announed it... Classic news at it best!

Bill didn't get his toupee on straight, you can see a gap above right ear.
-
Love the concern on Robbie's face that Bill wasn't gonna be ready in time, and of course he made his final suit adjustments right as he began his first words. At times, Bill Bonds' coanchors simply had to be speechless at how he ever pulled it off.

2 billion doesnt seem like shit compared to that fucking crook obama and what he stole in the senate, and what he is steakling from us to bail out his buddies and george soros

I watched this newscast everyday from the time I was 10 or 11 with my mom... This is possibly the best news intro ever. Does anyone have this intro with the announcer VO that preceeded it that goes "Action News 5PM. Named by United Press International as having the best local coverage of any station in America here are Bill Bond, Robbie Timmons...?"

I's just my opinion, but I feel that this is one of the greatest news opens ever created, with a power and urgency matched by the delivery of Bill Bonds himself.
