    At 15:18, Lou Boda (1928-88) did the sportscast. His last work was at WFAN in the summer of 1988, shortly before his death. The Information logo is an optical illiusion. Thanks so much for this!

      Mr. Boda at the time was handling sports on the late evening (11 P.M.) newscasts of "Eyewitness News" on WABC-TV in New York (while Howard Cosell did the early evening newscast's sports). He would later return to WABC as "EWN" sportscaster in 1979 one summer when Warner Wolf was on vacation.

    John Bohannon, who was the 1st newscast in this posting, later went on to Mutual. Also, the seat belt spot starting at 1:02. I remember the "What's your excuse?" tagline, though I was only 5 or 6 at the time. Now it's the law.

      WVIC AM and FM in Lansing, Michigan were affiliated with ABC Contemporary. Whenever I hear the opening jingle it takes me back to my "wonder years" when I was a freshman at Lansing Catholic High School during the 1976-77 school year. All my classmates were listening to WVIC and ABC Contemporary News was aired at the top of the hour. (I still have a t-shirt I won from WVIC on Thursday, July 7, 1977 at 7:17 P.M. - I guess all those sevens were lucky? And that t-shirt must be worth big bucks now.)

    These newscasts seem really long. I do remember our local station in the mid 70's onward.....Information Radio newscast was 5 minutes; Contemporary Radio newscast was like 3 minutes & weekend World of Sports was like 3-4 minutes max.

      @talladegajunkie1439  2 года назад +2

      I think the ABC/I broadcast may have been a broadcast like The World Tonight on CBS Radio, a broad overview of everything. Each network ran 5 minute newscasts, and it was up to the stations how much to use, just like today

    • @altfactor
      @altfactor Год назад +1

      Stations probably were obligated to run the first two or three minutes and the commercial break.
      In many hourly radio newscasts, the only commercial came three minutes into the newscast, so local stations didn't have to run the last minute or two of the newscast.
      Local stations sometimes ran a couple of minutes of local news and weather instead of the end of the network newscast, while some music intensive stations might have gone right back to music.

      @@altfactor Yes, in the mid 70's our local station ran ABC Information Radio for the full 5 minutes and never bailed out of the 5 minute newscast. On weekends Lou Boda "World Of Sports" followed information ........I remember it was like 8 minutes before the station got back to music, but is was a really an AC leaning station. Another Top 40 station added an FM simulcast in '74 and I remember them carrying ABC Contemporary radio, they would only play the first segment and bail out after before the 1st spot came on....they later dumped the news altogether, as they were an aggressive Top 40 station and were dominant in the market. I know they played the spots as "make goods" later in the hour.
