NewsCenter4

One of the first opens for NewsCenter 4, a simple text animation with a beeping ticker(with the electronic version of the NBC signature chime). They also have two sponsors for the newscast, mentioned in the opening (AmericanAirlines,Barney's).
Chuck Scarborough anchors - he's been with WNBC since the early 1970s.

@Newz4la Tom Snyder DID do News Center 4 for sometime, but not to embarrass you, did you not see the sports logos on the screen next to Chuck. That was Marv Albert.

Was that Tom Snyder with Chuck Scarborough? Or was it someone else?

The last out of that World Series was when Ron Cey of the Dodgers pop fly to Yankees catcher Thurman Munson(R.I.P number 15).

With Chuck Scarborough about to celebrate his 35th anniversary as chief anchor of WNBC-TV's local news in April -- and with rumors abounding that he plans to retire -- it will be very interesting to see what old NewsCenter4 clips will be aired next month.

As did the NBC radio and TV networks, right up to the early 1980s.

This newscast was taped right after the Yanks won game 6 to clinch the 1978 world series.

1975 to 1979

Now that NBC has issued a restored box set of SNL 1975, sure would be nice to have a set of restored NewsCenter4 newscasts to

open'em with. And how 'bout a restored set of the Chip Monck show "Speakeasy" that followed SNL at 1am? Any trace of that relic?

Wait...I noticed this newscast was filmed during the 75th World Series, which ran between October 10-17, 1978. So, it was sometime during that week, probably October 17.
