How did you find this old treasure after 40 some odd years?

[robatsea2009]

a friend sent it along a few years back

Political arguing aside, this was very, very nice to see vintage videotape from one of ABC's flagship stations and the one serving my hometown (Oakland). My mom graduated from high school in Oakland in 1965 and I came along almost five years later. This is the station my family watched before and after I was born, and Channels 7 and 5 (CBS) were the main go-to stations for news when I was a kid.

How nice to see and hear news as it was meant to be- not like the stand up comedians we have as anchorpersons today who are a disgrace to their profession

Wow... the way reporters and anchors read/spoke the news to the audience back then was so different... very straight-forward... very formal... perhaps even a little stiff-sounding at times. Nowadays, it's so... well... different.

Was this really live? There's no kinescope. It was on videotape.

@1Guitarslayer ...I would agree with that..

4:00 Did that GOP leader just get out of the bar?

[1Guitarslayer]

Notice how much substance in this report compared to the garbage all the local stations spew these days... what a shame.

If a real unbiased local news station were to fire up today they would capture 90% of the market. Yes thats how bad it is in 2011, after watching the news the only thing I've learned is the weather, which has turned into 50% of the entire broadcast... pathetic!

Greetings from California!

Wow I had no idea Schubeck had 2 stints at KNBC like Paul Moyer did along with with KABC in the middle of their careers. Its like Pete Wilson working 2 stints at KGO and Wendy Tokuda working 2 stints at KPIX but with KRon in the middle of their careers  and both leaving KRON due to station mismanagement.

@wmbrown6 Wow I had no idea Schubeck time at WABC was a lot like Don Sanchez on KGO. Anchors who became Movie and drama critics

[wmbrown6]

@recto89 - Schubeck was at WABC from 1967 to '71; in his last two years there, he was drama critic (replacing ABC staff announcer Allan Jefferys in that capacity). Schubeck then went to sister station KABC in L.A. where he remained to 1974 when he rejoined KNBC where he stayed until '83 (I say "rejoined" because he'd been at KNBC before, from 1965 to '67).
