I was at the Stadium that night when Stan Mikita's #21 was raised to the rafters. Thank you , Mrs. Landini! Final score: Hawks 8 Caps 4. We moved to Wisconsin on November 1st of that year and I've been playing catch up ever since. Sweet. Home. Chicago. ❤
@@jimklipper6022 That's a good question. I blame the fact that we now have instant 24 hour news coverage. The demand for instant news all the time has lead to a decrease in accuracy and quality.
Jim Klipper it’s because today it’s all about how the news is packaged in order to steer and influence your behavior rather then to just keep you informed. Look at the way Mary Ann is dressed. Today she’d have to wear a sleeveless tube dress showing the top 1/3 of her chest. Look at the graphics and the set they did the 1980 broadcast from and what you get today. Today its all about gearing the broadcast to get more eyes watching all the packaging, the actual news is secondary. How accurate can the actual reporting be? They don’t care about you anymore. The news media today cares more about their corporate masters and the advertising dollars than their audience plus liberal politicians have discovered how to leverage the evening news as a way to spread their agenda and shape public opinion. So the news really isn’t fake, it’s the people bringing you the news and why they are bringing it to you and how that is TOTALLY FAKE where in 1980 that wasn’t the case at all.
It used to be that when you want to see the news on television, you had to tune in at a set time each weekday. On Monday Through Friday, that would be 5pm, 6pm, and 10pm Central Time. On weekends, that would be 10pm Central Time. That is just the local news.
Solid newscast. They had the same time as today but seemed to cover fewer stories, I think, so you learned more from each report. It was really cool having Harry on set doing analysis.
16:29-16:59 Wilfrid Hyde-White was such a wonderful pitchman. By the end of the decade, WLS-TV 7 had Childers, Linda Yu, Joan Esposito and Diann Burns. Unusual newscast considering that Moore was closely associated with Kansas City's KMBC and Berry Detroit's WXYZ.
Larry left KMBC initially for KPIX in San Francisco. He wasn't happy there, so it was off to WLS, then back to KMBC. Jay Berry wasn't the first person ABC moved out of Detroit. They moved Bill Bonds to LA when they started Eyewitness News there; after a minute he was back in Detroit. Then when Bill Beutel left WABC for the precursor to GMA, Bill went to New York for an even shorter time. Bonds and Roger Grimsby on the same anchor desk - I'd have paid to see the drinking contest between those two.
The criminal justice system is in shambles I live in NYC and one month later I was born after this newscast in the Bronx ny which was bad too nothing will change unless we change these laws God bless you Chigirl!
I remember all of these journalists and they were excellent! It’s odd to me that essentially the same news Almost 40 years ago is essentially the same news today. Very sad but one generation doesn’t learn from the last clearly
I wish we could see highlights of Da Bears like this today. Vince Evans was passing up a storm, Sweetness was running all over the place. Now we get an anemic Bears offense and so-so defense.
I'm curious about this piece of music used for the opening for the WLS newscast here, since by late 1980 they were no longer using the "Cool Hand Luke" music used on the other ABC O&Os.

Childers and Carray and Lujack. These were the DAYS!!!!
Back when journalists had integrity and evening news was (mostly) real news.
lordfinbar Why is news then real and now fake?

I don't think local news has lost its integrity.
National and cable news is different story

I lived in Harvey Illinois at that time and was 17 years old and was happy at that time in my life and didn't even know it.
The first news story just shows how things have not changed. Cook County still releases dangerous criminals into the streets on probation.
True but much worse now though. No pizza parties in jail back then

I find it strangely comforting
I love Mary Ann Childress. ❤️🧡💛💚💙💜❤️🧡💛💚💙💜❤️🧡💛💚💙💜❤️🧡💛💚💙💜❤️🧡💛💚💙💜
She wasn’t as pretty as Terry Murphy😊
to quote the Blues Brothers. "Illinois nazi's, I Hate Illinois nazi's"
That's what I was thinking
I was thinking about the Blues Brothers too!

ABC was so good during the 70’s and 80’s.
Especially those 3:30 movies!!
instaBlaster.
And then Disney took over.
I'm curious about this piece of music used for the opening for the WLS newscast here, since by late 1980 they were no longer using the "Cool Hand Luke" music used on the other ABC O&Os.
This tune is "On Your Side" from Frank Gari, and I am pretty certain WLS was the original station to commission the theme.
@@hrtvfan2870 Thanks for the info!
@@Tribeca40 You're welcome
I know I wasn't the only kid in the 80's growing up in Chicago. who had a BIG CRUSH on Maryann Childers.
Me too
WABC New York used that theme for it's 4:30 newscast during that period.
Mary Ann Childress: Gorgeous
Awesome.
I had such a crush on her. She was incredibly beautiful.
Wasn’t as pretty as Terry Murphy😊
Absolutely, she was gorgeous, I used to watch because of her
@1:44 Chroma Key goes haywire!
15:00 I remember fur commercial as a kid😊
Moving that big heavy weather board vs. electronic computer graphics😃
I remember this Mary ann childeres , shev was miss cool, no amount of violence shakes her in her reporting
Pretty sure Larry was also rooting for Kansas City then as well. (It'll always be unusual seeing him behind an anchor desk that's not at KMBC.)
He also worked at KPIX in 1978
ABC7 Eyewitness News. Chicago, Illinois.
i want a physical museum full of 1980s stuff and tv archives playing 24 7 like u can wa5tch 80s tv in an 80s living room
24:48
Jim Ramsey’s great voice sounds flat on the 1980 microphone technology.
He retired from WGN TV in 2018 or 2019....
I can't remember that WLS personality in the Disneyland commercial at the end.

Thx
No problem.
Man did the Bears passing attack suck in Walter Payton's first 7-8 years of his career. Vince Evans threw a whooping 8 passes.
Am I the only person who had a crush on Mary Ann Childers?
Nope
Terry Murphy was way prettier 😊
44 years later not a whole lot has changed
Harry looks a little smitten for Mary Ann.
Looking back 39 years - not as slick a show as today.
News hasn’t changed much, neither the stories...
