Fascinating story behind that. Richard Sher was promoted to co-anchor the 5PM with Sally Thorner and it gave the broadcast a ratings boost. Then Richard was summoned into the GM's office to be told he was being demoted and removed from the 5PM newscast to make room for Kai Jackson. Richard Sher was so furious for the reasoning behind his removal from the 5PM newscast that he vowed never to anchor another newscast again... which he kept his promise.
I think you may be right. That is one open I really want to get my hands on! That and the one from this series featuring Jerry Turner right before his passing.
Wonder where that baby is now? Still alive?
I really liked this weekend team. I would have liked to eventually see Pat Warren and Richard Sher on an a 5pm weekday.

People are sick to do that to a baby. The baby should be about 31 years old now.
This was the final year WJZ used this gorgeous intro, wasn't it?
You are correct. By this time, the 6PM and 11PM newscasts had already changed their open. Noon and weekends were lagging behind.
