From KNXT Los Angeles and Klein&, some news talent promos featuring Connie Chung and Joe Benti in 1977, part of the 2LA promo campaign. At the end are a couple of 2LA IDs.
Yep... their Sister O&O Station WBBM 2 in Chicago had Their Style in News Commercials, Better than L.A.'s, WBBM was High Profile in News Commercials, KNXT (Now KCBS wasn't)
Yes, she cut her teeth off of Benti's coattails and rumor has it she demanded top billing over Benti who was her veteran superior journalist. Benti hated working with her.
Now KCBS CBS LOS ANGELES and KCAL LOS ANGELES streaming on CBS NEWS LOS ANGELES
I realize now Connie Chung was kind of an evolution of Mary Richards / Mary Tyler Moore show!
Connie had the face of a doll 😊
& KNBC had Trica Toyota, her Rival at the Time!
I always thought Connie was much better than say Jessica Savitch. Jessica was pretty but Connie was a babe lol.
...and the heart of an ambitious reptile.
She still looks beautiful 2 this day
@@edbenti5007 It's how you survive the news industry.
Also used on its sister station KYW-TV as 3 for All
I hope y’all will reply to this did y’all think 16 years later Connie would be co anchor of the CBS evening news with Dan Rather???????!!!!!
KNXT whos now KCBS
Very catchy jingle...
Yep... their Sister O&O Station WBBM 2 in Chicago had Their Style in News Commercials, Better than L.A.'s, WBBM was High Profile in News Commercials, KNXT (Now KCBS wasn't)
Which a few years later was also used by future sister station KYW (then a Westinghouse-owned NBC affiliate) as "3 For All"
Chung’s still married to former local/“A Current Affair” newscaster-turned-retired talk show host Maury Povich, right?
Ratings Ace!
Another reason why I would hate to work in commercial television news...having to participate in hokey, showbiz-flavored promos.
As someone who works in it, everyone including the talent gets a good laugh out of it. :)
Who cares Kevin?
Connie Chung worked there at the time
Jacob Wang So did Pat O’Brien.
Yes, she cut her teeth off of Benti's coattails and rumor has it she demanded top billing over Benti who was her veteran superior journalist. Benti hated working with her.
@@edbenti5007 so did Dan Rather in 1994/95.
