    Great documentary, I remember Roger Grimsby. He was the best Anchor,hands down. I was 7 yrs old when this started. I have been a News fan since.

    If you're wondering how "Eyewitness News" ever got its title, the story originated not in New York City, but in Philadelphia, where Westinghouse
    owned KYW-TV had the first local news program in which a team of reporters had cameramen and a crew (reports were shown on film then) going on location to,say, a fire taking place at an abandoned factory.
    The viewers saw the report taking place at that area. Hence, that's how
    "Eyewitness News" was born back in 1965.

    12:28 News veteran John Schubeck, whom he would two years later migrate from the East Coast back to the West Coast, namely L.A., for the remainder of his career (KABC-TV from 1971-74, KNBC Channel 4 from 1974 to 1983, and KNXT/KCBS-TV Channel 2 from 1983 to '88).

    If Roger Grimsby and Bill were part of the 50th anniversary of the news program them two would have plenty to say about the news show sadly they're not here to share their stories about what they done on eyewitness news in New York

    I seem to remember from ads "at the time" that "EWN's" debut would have been Nov. 11, 1968 (the first day "If You Weren't There, We Were" ads appeared in the New York newspapers) - Nov. 17 was the night of the infamous "Heidi Bowl." This would have documented the production of the 11 P.M. newscast in late July 1969, nearly two months before what would have been the 6:30 P.M. edition (30 min.) was moved up to 6 P.M. and expanded to an hour. (Lou Boda handled 11 P.M., Howard Cosell only did the early evening newscast.)

    Memories of wabc eyewitness news anchors for 50 years most of them are gone from the news team on television then and now are now retired from the news Doug Johnson and John Johnson were part of the channel 7 eyewitness news team for the 50th anniversary milestone I wish John slattery was there too bad he wasn't he passed away some years ago

    6:46 I believe that was former anchor/reporter (and former host of "Like It Is") Gil Noble.

    The reporter at 19:00 was Tom Dunn who went to WOR Ch 9 where he anchored from 1971-87

      To transport film from cameras on the scene to the station or vice versa. Camera footage was recorded on film not electronically and/or with live remote, minicam capability as is today.

    How do you tolerate the BullSt ,that they say News is today when all they have to do is watch another Networks coverage & talk about how they feel about it , These are the Pioneers that should have the loudest voice in regards to the happenings of today

      It is from the move Cool Hand Luke, called the Tar scene. I believe Al Primo is also responsible for that as well.

    Apparently, this documented the newsgathering process for July 30, 1969. The Mariner 6 development and Nixon's trip to Vietnam were a key to dating when this was filmed.
    Also . . . wasn't WABC's news department, at this point, tethered somewhat to ABC News, and if so, when it become independent thereof?

    Just think, almost every job here could be done with just an iPhone today, including timing the stories, lol. All these people would be out of work.

    I wonder if this film might have beer made for showing to students in school interested in a career in broadcast journalism as it showed what a big city TV news operation was like in 1969.

    These people apparently took it seriously then in the Big Apple; neither FOX "News" nor MSNBC gives a rip now.
