I think the constant time reminder is for the radio simulcast, and "news time" is a staple of radio news.

Della Crews is now with News 12 New Jersey, I believe she had a falling out with WPXI not long after this clip.

As for MCTYW, the theme was a staple with WPXI, having been used in the 1970's, a part of the early 1980's and from 1987-1994, when they went to the "techno" version for a few years.

Now THIS I remember. The only news chick to look like Paul Young and Chilly Billy in the weather center.

When did Channel 11 started to put the "11" logo in the blue box? I think it's 1992.

I remember that intro music like it was yesterday. Had that forever. Sounds like it's from the 70s.

[InnerBeatDrumSchool]

I had a crush on Della Crews!
