  1. Ch.13 trying their best to keep the Rat&Roach report alive since Marvin Zindler's death 7 years ago.
  2. On Scandal, it's got Fitz Grant as the 44th President. I'm assuming the executive producers intend to have the Republicans holding the White House for 16 years since he took over after Bush 43.
  3. I noticed they dropped the 9:00 PM news on WGN America. Editor, when did they drop the evening news ? They also moved "In The Heat of the Night" to the weekends. "Walker, Texas Ranger" was moved up to weekday mornings 8:00 AM & 9:00 AM
  4. OBWon89, I've noticed the obituaries section is getting smaller as well
  5. What year was the Pennzoil building built in downtown? The small weird looking black building
  6. Not surprised. I prefer the paper in my hand over cup of coffee and breakfast
  7. When was Heritage Plaza built ? Because I looked at some news clips of KTRK 13 and Fox 26 and some photos from the 1970s and early 80s, noticing it wasn't even built yet until later.
  8. My money is on the Dome being TORN DOWN once voters overwhelmingly reject this so-called tax hike in order to "save the Dome".
  9. Considering that the victim was a black student and the suspects were Latino, it's likely the older, more affluent whites will leave Spring ISD and head towards either Katy ISD or somewhere like Waller ISD.
  10. ChannelTwoNews, I stumbled upon this video on Rendezvous Houston concert news clips package and discovered that Shara Fryer was doing the 6pm newscasts with Dave Ward for KTRK 13 in 1986 here: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Db6dRG0jgHQ KTRK's section is at the 0:0132 part of the video. So I assume that Fryer began doing 6pm weekday newscasts in 1986 or earlier in 1985
  11. ChannelTwoNews, if you have the VHS tape of KTRK 13's October 8, 1986 10pm montage and have it uploaded when you do, let us know
  12. Tower Spotter, here is another video from WNYW-TV New York Fox 5 http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=q9CFGA7g0Rw I'm trying to find Fox 26 Houston's 1986 and 1987 news opens similar to WNYW just let me know if anyone else can upload it
  13. Look what I found from WNYW-TV Fox 5 New York in 1989 http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=KUBTzJGXSl
  14. I found some old news opens from Fox stations

  15. Highway 6, speaking of Houston sightings, isn't KTRK's Sonia Azad Middle Eastern or Latina ?
  16. Porchman, it appears Sibilia Vargas has left Fox 26 and heading back to Los Angeles to be working at KCBS, the CBS affiliate in that area. I wonder if she ever intended to end her career in Houston because ever since Linda Cheek-Heinrich retired in 2002, the co-anchor spot in the mornings are cursed: 1. Taslin Alfonso (2002-2005): co-anchored the mornings with Jose Grinan and was domoted to the 12 Noon newscasts once Jan Jeffcoat took the morning slot and Taslin eventually went back to New Orleans, her hometown to work at the NBC affiliate WSDU. 2. Jan Jeffcoat (2004-2007): bailed on Houston and never looked back, she's currently at WFLD-TV Fox 32 in Chicago. 3. Sibilia Vargas (2007-2010): lasted only 3 years and went back to LA.
  17. Okie Eric, the Kennedy mini-series starring Martin Sheen and Blair Brown filmed the Dallas sequence in Richmond, Virginia:
  18. Ricco67, did KTRK unveil the virtual news set everyone is familiar with in the spring or fall of 1986 ?

    Because I know they had three different versions of the virtual news set with the downtown skyline:

    First virtual set from 1982-1983

    Second virtual set (see 1985 video) from 1983-1986

  19. What's up Porchman ?
