I like how Nick Clooney came across in the promo as "a new face at KNBC, but an old hand at the news." How I interpret that "old hand at the news" part is that he's an experienced newsman wanting his viewers to get to know him. This is how I think more of today's anchors should come across to their viewers.

And the V/O introducing this news brief is the late Victor Bozeman.

@dinfg6 I checked out that site under the "Daybreak" link, and I saw what I believe to be his face. The way he looks now certainly favors what I saw in this clip.

@bmasters1981 check out the WGRZ website John Beard is there. Its incredible that a 26 year LA evening News veteran is now doing a Morning newscast there.

@dinfg6 I think that I read something to that effect on Wikipedia once.

@bmasters1981 John Beard is now in Buffalo doing the morning news there.
