R.I.P Frank Reynolds Max Robinson n Peter Jennings. Great news men from my childhood
Incredible. I was a 13 year old news watching nerd then, and there is a excellent chance I watched this live. I was kind of raised on the news. The most remarkable thing about this though is the absolutely trippy Kmart ad at 24:30. Yikes!
wow when america was reasonably normal. things have definitely not gotten better..
Yes in the 80s, America went back to normal after the turbulent 60's and 70's
Ah the 80s. Simple times growing up.
Because you didn't work. It was the same then as it is now, you just didn't have to deal with anything but what girl you wanted to phuck in 10th grade. Get it?
Had to reupload due to missing audio
Thank you for uploading. These news broadcasts are a window into our history.
This date immediately caught my eye; I was in army basic training when this came out, and nowhere near a tv. The report about Poland led to an alert in the army at that time.
1:40 hilarious to see Brit Hume
Why?
Was that Jim Fagan in that Chrysler commercial?
The economic picture stayed the same well into 83. I've got to disagree with Tip O'Neill though. It was the Federal Reserve that brought that on by trying to kill persistent inflation. That sounds similar to today, although it's not as bad now.
It's worse now than ever!!!! The cost of living is nearly 10 times higher than ever!!! Reaganomics was nothing compared to today.
Just 11 days before Jodie Sweetin was born!
Amazing!!!
Do you have the full 1982 Austin City Limits episode? The last episode of Season 7, and featuring a solo performance by Roy Clark, and the first appearance of The Geezinslaws.
Nope, try the "American Archive" though.
This is ABC News on WGHP Channel 8 1983.
Nice. I started working there 11 years later in 1993, for its last two years as an ABC affiliate.
Aired 11 months before I was born. I will be born later in the year by Dec 7th.
Long live the queen 👑
