It aired in the summer. Right around the middle of August.

I met Jim once, as a young'un, at the WCBS-TV studios, and he was the ultimate gentleman. (As were a then-mustachioed Rolland Smith and the others in the Channel 2 News team as consituted in 1976.) What you describe must've been post-'79, from what I've been reading about his life and times.

"Is Bed Stuy making a comeback?" - In 1984? I'm gonna go with "no" on that one.

The opening part of the newscast is about Geraldine Ferraro and her run for the VP post.

Today, it has been announced that Ms. Ferraro passed into eternity at age 75.

I remember that KCBS in L.A. used the same music (they were known as KNXT at that time).

wow, Jim Jensen looks so young! hard to believe that a few years after this, he started aging

[wmbrown6]

That's funny - I thought Jensen looked more like Jackie Cooper . . .

Jim Jensen reminds me of Dick Sargent.
