Bill Kurtis could read a cookbook and I’d still be glued to every word.
Wasn't there anyone in New York who thought that of WCBS's Jim Jensen? Or Rolland Smith?
Sometime in 1978, Mort Crim left WBBM for WDIV in Detroit, where he was lead anchor until his retirement in the late 1990s.
Emery King was also an anchor in Detroit in the 90s and early 2000s.
Aww man, I wanted to see the Easter procession. Historic footage of Latino neighborhoods in Chicago is so hard to find and close to my heart.
Daaannng? I was six yrs old🤦🏽♀️😁
I was four 😆
I was 4 too
I was 10-4, good buddy. ;-)
Every time they cut to the newsroom I can smell the Old Spice.
Never heard of that Matthau movie.
Even in 1978, it was becoming odd to have an American newscast in a big city done only by men.
Man, March 26 1978 was one early Easter. I wouldn't know, of course, since I was a few months away from being born.
Does anyone recognize Bill Curtis's voice?
Only those that live on earth.
Bill Kurtis has a voice for doing documentaries
ANCHORMAN
3:42 "CEMETERY" is misspelled.
When Bill Kurtis mentioned the striking miners, I thought he said "striking minors".
The same thing happened when the field reporter said "each miner". This makes me realize that I expect the first syllable of "miner" to last longer than that of "minor", and that these guys are making the first syllable too short.
Wow. They were just discovering the effects of Agent Orange
No they had just started to admit it.
Bill was in the Marine and Navy Reserves as well as a lawyer by trade. He was also the one who discovered Tokyo Rose and brought up Vietnamese children fathered by American soldiers.
Okay I saw like 5 stories on robberies an assaults today let’s see how many are on this newscast.
You have a police scanner but still get busted? Snitch
