Television introduction for “News 9: Prime Time” from the North Jersey/New York City area – 1986
Mets Celebration? I wanna hear more about that
Even though I was young at the time I remember the Mets clinching it against the Cubs
Do you have the entire broadcast of this? This is really good.
Thanks can u post that? I would like to see even if it is 3 or 4min! Thanks!
The graphics was also used at KIRO, but had their own theme in it.
LLY is in Bakersfield, he still does remote broadcasts in different areas thought.
Does anybody know if Reg Wells is still alive?
is it just me – or does Steve Albert in this open look just a tad like Jerry Seinfeld?
I WAS JUST GOING TO SAY THAT!!!
Why was the celebration put on hold?!
Unfortunately, the Mets celebration has been on hold for 23 years now and counting…..
Speaking of Boston . . . Albert's predecessor as WOR-TV sportscaster, Jimmy Myers, had worked at WBZ-TV before coming to Channel 9. In short, Myers was in competition with the station that ran Telesound's "And You" music in that city.
Also . . . it sounds like WOR announcer Phil Tonken somewhat disguised his voice on the open.
He was competing against WCVB. This theme is way cool. When and why did Telesound go out of business?
@AsnycnowRadio Wasn't Reg still with UPN 9 until well after Fox bought the station?
Sara Lee Kessler worked for WWOR-TV from 1976-1994.
Sara Lee is currently a radio reporter for WOR-AM…..which is an improvement, because Channel 9 doesn't HAVE a daily news program these days [thanks to Rupert "Don't You DARE defy ME!" Murdoch].
