WPIX in the late 70's and early 80's will always remind me of staying at my grandparents house in Pound Ridge during the summer's back then as a child. We would stay up and watch the Yankees with Bill White and Phil Rizzuto.
Pete it brings back so many great memories for me to with my grandparents and watching the games.. It was such a better time in every possible way.. I'd give anything to just go back there.
Frank Messer*
@@davidanchovies3340 of course I remember Frank Messer but from my memories, it was mostly a two man booth more often than not which consisted of Phil and Bill White.
I'll never forget Phil's passionate, "Holy cow!" growing up. Sort of like Lloyd Lindsey Young with yelling, "helloooooooo!"
My mom worked at General Motors Building at 57th street from 1973-1982. Her hours were 5pm to 11:30pm. Dad always picked her up at work at night. I recall she didn’t make it to work for a week or so. I was 14 and glad she was home. I wish I could go back to those years. I remember all those politicians and world events. I’d watch the news with dad and siblings together in the evening before our Primetime shows went on the air.
I was a kid then and even now it seemed like grownups were in charge then. Not so much today.
Blame the social media for the current immaturity of the populous.
Being Grown up is kinda overrated
@@whoknowswhocares885 unfortunately the world needs grownups to be in charge. Not infantile morons.
It was before Boomers took the helm.
No, grownups with naive, child like mentalities run things now.
Diane will be 40 in April. Happy Birthday Diane!
Fantastic!! Grew up in North Jersey and WPIX will forever be a great favorite. Thanks!!
24:55 In 1980, Phil Mankowski hit .167 in 8 games for the Mets, and Jerry Morales hit .254 with 3 home runs in 94 games.
The player the Mets traded away, Richie Hebner, hit .290 with 12 home runs in 104 games for the Tigers.
New York City the way it was in the early 80s
It was a wild place with parts of Manhattan smelling consistently of urine. But most of the folks had the biggest hearts. I lived in Queens NY growing up in the 80s. There was no time like it.
I love the disco-is ed Take Me Out to the Ball game.
Lol at the salty reporter going at Corbett @ 3:45. "As a reality, or...?"
They used to call this the Night Final broadcast. This is an awesome clip - thanks for posting this.
6:51 the reporters explanation and sarcastic reaction to the routes suggested by the traffic dept is classic
The 1960s news program "Faces and Places In the News" was a slides-only newscast. It generally aired around signoff time.
NewsActive3 Thanks for posting this. Gr8 throwback.
As soon as I heard that Action News theme, I teleported back to my Mom finishing up dinner, while my pops watched Action News...Good Times!
Times were different back then , newscasters were more humble , people in public were more tolerant and there was still a sense of a hopeful future. I had lots more hope back then , but not long after his newscast a terrible car accident messed me up bad. Today I'm 70 and like to look at our past , once in a while.
I remember this news program. It was on at 1 am weeknites after the three stooges and 2 twilight zone on ch 11
Thanks for posting.
I remember that transit strike...riding my bike to work and school...
The guy in the truck behind the officer at 6:15 just looking and awkwardly smiling at the camera just cracks me up, LOL.
That guy's Reggie Jackson.
That's the news and editorial feedback, now we send in "The Clones"!
Thanks for the upload !! This must be on a Friday !!
Nice to hear the voice of newsreader/producer Roy Whitfield (which reminded me in a ways of a young Jack Webb's). I suppose it's a matter of time before a slides-only newscast read by Bill Biery turns up . . .
His tone is softer that Webb's.
That does include the WPIX Editorial Feedback and the open of WPIX Film Festival
Take 2 aspirins and call us in the morning lol
Ah yes, NYC. Back in the days when you got a wink and a thank you after gettin'mugged.
1980 baby here. But man it must have been a wild time back then. 1977 would have definitely been my year
Oh hell yeah, you would have loved '77. It was terrible too.
I love these!
Awesome post!! You wouldn't happen to have the entire film festival with this movie would you? I'd gladly trade or pay for a copy.
My father was a transit worker around this time, so he was on strike for about 10 days. He didn't walk no picket line. Just hung around the house, LOL. Ed Koch always reminded me of Grandpa on the Munsters. Those Mets fans were certainly hoping for a lot if they were expecting big improvements from Phil Mankowski and Jerry Morales. No hockey playoff highlights? the Islanders were a few weeks away from winning their first Stanley Cup.
My stepfather was a conductor on the 7 train, yeah he just mostly was around the house. I remember coming home from HS (I was 15) and he was just watching TV it was so weird to see adults home at that time haha
31:08 boy, do I remember this jam. Awesome
Diane should be about 38 now. I feel old.
She would have just turned 40 now.
FINALLY! A Film Festival open with the original 11 rather than the superimposed 11 Alive logo.
The Editorial Feedback also had the old 11 logo.
8:59 methinks the nurse is cutting off blood flow with that grip of hers. I remembered the music, and forgot where it came from.
That mannequin story is hilarious!
And some try that here to get to the carpool lane.
I wonder where Diane the transit gridlock baby is at today ?
Babysitting her grandchildren.
WPIX.
Remember the kids show, where you would call in and play Atari asteroids or something over the phone, saying "pix" when u wanted the guy on the other end to press the fire button? "Pix pix pix pix pix ..." 😁
On this day I was going to turn 4 tomorrow....Those birthdays were the most special times in the early 1980s
I grew up on Staten Island and was in the 4th grade. I just had to walk a block to school back then. I didn't have to take the bus until high school.
So, in high school you took the bus one block?
WOR-TV also had a slides only morning newscast for years.
God I love NY
The fact that there was a transit strike going on in New York City at the time of this news broadcast may have seemed more of a blessing than a curse seeing as the subway system at the time was more or less a sick joke.
The 14th cop shot in the city that year….and it was only April!
“Go this bridge, that bridge, along this road, to the Jersey turnpike ext and pass over 10 more bridges” 😳😱😱 seriously why don’t people just get in a boat and paddle all the way back to 2000BC while they’re at it?!
Bumper music at 9:48 was later used for Independent Network News.
Does anybody know who's singing that disco version of "Take Me Out To The Ballgame" at 0:06, or is that just a piece of library music? I know it's not them, but they sound a bit like The Brothers Johnson.
Nevermind, just found out it's actually Roy Ayers from his 1979 album "Fever".
It is Roy Ayers
Diane's probably a grandma now. My niece was born in 1981 and she's a grandma of two boys.
That PSA about "gas guzzlers" might as well be shouting "Buy Japanese Cars!" 🚐
2:28 Late Mayor Ed Koch. Now that guy was quite the character.
The Clones movie from 1973...interesting plot, short on delivery. 🙃
Two bad toupees and one that don't care...lol
Who doesn't remember the year 1980 the first transit strike that I first one for me I was 11 years old at the time the next transit strike didn't come again until 2003 that strike lasted two days
Wait this is April and already 10 cops shot wowwwww
Why didn't those gas powered roller skates never catch on?
Diane is now 42 years old. Wow! What a story about her birth. I wonder how she's doing now?
I had just turned 8
No one is going to mention the guy that sounds like Morgan Freeman? (7:52)
Who, Frank Casey? And whatever became of him?
that were television
What?
@@deandrepowell7115 I think he means TV hit its peak in the 80s.
Corbett sounds and looks like a typical NYC union man!
