WSVN News Bloopers, Mid-80s, Part One

Before "Crime Check", before the Newsplex, before the "if it bleeds it leads" mentality, WSVN Channel 7 was just another station in the Miami market. After they lost their NBC affiliation, everything changed! This blooper reel is from the months and years before that radical change. I'm posting this for use in a post on the Say Six! blog, http://saysix.blogspot.com/ . Here are some of the folks you'll see in part one: Steve Rondinaro, Sally Fitz, Mark Wolin, Dave Willingham, Bob Soper, Robert Gilmartin, Stephanie Stahl, Steve Dawson, Denise White, Jill Beach, and then-Governor Bob Graham, making his comedy debut. I'm sure there are others that I missed. Say Six! blog, http://saysix.blogspot.com/

Contrary to what the title of this blooper tape is slugged, this was NOT WSVN at the time, but WCKT and the name did not change until 1989 when the big affiliate turnover took place in the Miami Market. I should know because I was the photog at the time for the standup that Stephanie Stahl did when she complained about a bug on her lip.

@ThePhotorick1010 Actually, WCKT became WSVN in June 1983, long before the affiliate turnover.

@Jeffers67 I stand corrected. You are right, but I was working there in 1983 and I really don't remember that taking place. Then again,there are a lot of things I don't remember anymore...

Always thought Sally Fitz was quite the looker.

Steve Rondinaro has been the primary host of DCI world championships for more than 30 years.
