KTVI FOX2 August 1998

From tvnewsthemes.net:

Lisa Sylvester (Now CNN) and Dick Ford (retired) anchor FOX2 News at 10, before the newscast moved to 9pm. KTVI has returned to the 10 O'Clock slot with "NewsEdge at 10."

The late Chris Clausen (who just died last night) voices the open for this newscast on a hot evening
in August of 1998.

RIP Chris Clausen. We will miss your voice.

Well, there is no rule saying that you have to be an ABC affiliate to use the package... but also, this isn't too long after KTVI switched from ABC to FOX.

@cms0678 The Palmer News Package (1990s) was in use at stations affiliated with all networks (Fox, CBS, ABC, NBC). In Cedar Rapids, it's actually kinda flipped: KGAN (CBS) has used EWN (this cut even) in the past (it's used Hello three times!), while KCRG (ABC) is going on 17 straight years using Palmer, M3-Palmer, and Enforcer.

@bigvoice313 Because just a few year prior to this, Fox2 was an ABC Station.

God I remember this promo, I was only 8 when it came out. xD I used to laugh at Dick Ford's name all the time, until he retired.

I thought the "Eyewitness News" news package is for ABC O&O/affiliate stations, why is it used on a FOX O&O station?!
