Thanks to NewsRetiree for posting these clips. Today's newscasts can learn from the past. I love how the breaking news of the search for the body was handled... Clean, straight-forward, no loud animations or over-the-top hysterics. Plus, Kim Hendrew, in my opinion, was a fantastic anchor.

That announcer's voice was doing the same voice over's for knbc 4 in l.a from hmmm 94 till 1999 "coverage you can count on"

Wow that news set was great that it is now it's like the ancor's are all bunched to close together today

I like all this better than all the "blings" and "whooshes" they use as graphics now.

This was the same week that things changed forever on WHBQ-TV 13, right?

Is Action News 5 still the number 1 newscast in Memphis?

Yep. Bert Ellis wanted to Plagiarize WSB outright, until he was convinted to do origional grphics by EQ Vance (Former WSB art director)

This is a great theme for channel 5, and yes, the five is very well-known and unique. WMC has almost always had great graphics.

Well, at the time, WREG had an AWESOME CGI open. Still, I concur, WMC IS Memphis top notch. I still don't get how Memphis is still such poor a city that it is.
