Jerry Springer once anchored the news in Cincinnati and was briefly mayor there. He also got in a scandal when he paid a hooker with a check and it bounced.
+RoundenBrown Me too, it had a more suspenseful "grab on to your seat" opening. I noticed now that FOX 5 has become more of a chill station. It wasn't like it was back in the 90s or early 2000's.
at 1:30 on the 1987 news open, you can see the DVE triggered wipe to live camera. Possibly the graphics system used at the time triggered the image on the black part of the wipe. This wasn't visible on SD TV of the time so they could get away with it.
@Mariah Benetatos Maury Povich was the Ten O' Clock News sports anchor along with Jim "Karvo" Karvellas through all of the Pres. Nixon Admin. years. Povich I believe moved out to go to TV stations in both L.A. & Philadelphia before making his return to WTTG during the 1980s.

Yup. He was a serious journalist here in DC for years. He hosted Panorama. Then A Current Affair happened, which is kinda like Inside Edition. He is also the son of legendary journalist, Shirley Povich. Google it.

Come along kids, to a distant time...a time when Maury Povich had journalistic credibility.

That’s right..when Maury Povich was a credible journalist.
I love the openings from the 1980s
They need to bring back the old fox 5 news theme from 1980's and 90's
You just made my weekend.
I love the 2000-2006 one.
