Ah, the days when just CNN and Headline News were the only 24/7 news services on the air, meaning that planning was really key not just for News 4 NY, not just NBC programming, but also the syndicated programming that followed or preceded newscasts like Donahue was prior to the Live At Five newscasts at the time. Interacting to report news was simpler: either call or mail for tips. Nowadays, with seemingly limitless digital technology, social media is now the most important means of communications, followed by the website from the links that matter. Of course, you don't have to live anywhere near NYC of course so anyone can follow abroad. I like how they emphasized to not focus to much on crime, since The Big Apple was a lot more notorious back in those days much like a Baltimore, Memphis, or St. Louis is today where their reputations have been hit to the point where tourism is also down in addition to residents. But despite this, the basic concepts of priority and reporting through challenges like traffic and criminal concerns remain as broadcasting enters its second century.
Actually, "Donahue" was airing in mornings at this time, and the shows actually preceding "Live at Five" were "Love Connection" and "The People's Court."
I couldn't agree more with Bret Marcus' sentiment on too much crime in a newscast. His opinions on keeping the newscast as well balanced as possible are pretty much the polar opposite of the "if it bleeds, it leads" mentality pretty much held by more modern TV stations, particularly those affiliated with the newer networks, i.e., Fox, The CW, and MyNetworkTV; as opposed to the more established networks ABC, CBS, and NBC.
LOOKING FOR: a significant interruption in the broadcast of NBC News on May 17, 1985. During this time, the signal was lost for about 10 to 20 minutes. When the signal was restored, NBC News issued an apology for the interruption before the scheduled airing of "V: The Series" began. need video. e-mail with link/ or mp4. Thank you in advance!
