I remember meeting Sam. Such a nice man. God bless his soul. RIP Sam.

😢🙏😔😞🙏

Hi Stevieboy247 I’m glad you’re back

I like their present cut… it hasn’t aged as well as WABC’s Series III

WDKY, KGBT, WJZY, Rewind TV, & The CW were involved

7:41

For KABC, that's the smart way to go if they want to use a long cut for their Friday closes.

What a loss she seemed like a very nice person

Still can't believe it, How about Hal Fishman 2004❤❤❤

I have been watching KTLA Morning News since 1991, I belive the first time I tuned in was when Mark joined to team. Although I never personally met Sam, it felt like I have been friends with him since then. I am still in shock over his passing. May he rest in paradise. My thoughts and prayers are with his family, both at home and KTLA as well as his loyal viewers 🙏 🤍

I was living in Indio in the 90's & Sam Rubin was the 1st person I would see on KTLA5.Loved his voice,his energy,that smile...gonna miss you Rest in heavenly peace 🙏

Miss you ❤️🙏❤️

Hugs ❤️ 🙏 ❤️

I remember when I was a kid that 64 was considered to be old, and people started to retire. Now, in 2024 64 isn't that old anymore. In fact, it is the prime of people's lives now. I see people loving their job so much that they keep working well into their 70's. Sam, sorry you did not get that opportunity. My you rest in peace! LA will miss you!

Sam was a staple in my home. I'd turn the TV on to KTLA5 & get a cup of coffee. I would watch the news but my favorite part was watching Sam report or interview celebrities. That was my favorite part of the news & day. I was ok bc Sam was there. I will surely miss him. ❤ Today, I just couldn't watch the news.

What did he die from was it medical

Also filed reports for Channel 9’s Today down under in Australia

A Tribute to Sam Rubin (1960-2024)

Whenever I heard this, I knew something good was about to happen.

Interesting how the male singer is singing it in the same key as Florence Warner in the original. Quite often, they will change the keys for male and female singers, even within the same campaign. That was the case with the “Hello News” campaign, which also involved both Frank Gari and Florence Warner.

This was SOOOooo interesting when it aired, I remember my older brother, he was 11 at the time, pausing from rubbing my face into the carpet to watch it, good memories.

I'm just someone who posted there, but not privy to the internal politics. What happened?

It seems like TVNT shut down (or its server stopped working). It stopped being accessible more than a week ago, and a "server not found" message is now shown when accessing it.

Hey Steve my family's ranch was featured on two on the town they took the cast to deep Creek Hot Springs I was wondering if you had a copy of that episode the ranch is named Oak Springs ranch riding stables

Surprised nobody noted the station's announcer in the sales presentation video.. The one and only Ron Rolland. He was the voice of WBBM CBS 2 for most of the '80s. He went on to be the voice of WLS ABC 7 from 1992 until 2007. Fun fact: Ron Rolland was the last "station talent announcer" in Chicago (and possibly one of the last in the country for a local TV station). All the way to the end at ABC 7, he was contracted and paid as actual talent at the station. The decision to eliminate him was actually from ABC corporate level as they didn't want their station paying for an in-house talent announcer anymore and they wanted WLS to go with a regular contracted or per-diem voiceover (they went with Roger Rose as his replacement at the time). Ron Rolland passed away September of last year.

I can't hear that music without thinking of Brent Musburger saying "You are looking live"

This is now Chuck Scarborough's 50th year anchor at this station. He's the longest running anchor in New York City TV history.

KHOU TV 11 In Houston And KOSA TV 7 In Odessa Also Used Share The Spirit.

"Bedofrd Stuyvesant" as shown before the 4 logo returned.

Does anyone remember when they interviewed David Lee Roth?

RIP All who died in the 1994 quake and at the same time its better for the current residents to prepare for the next quake given that its been 30 years since they faced being in the direct epicenter of the quake.

30TH ANNIVERSARY OF THE NORTHRIDGE EARTHQUAKE

I hope you were able to see "You are looking live: The show that changed sports television forever" before the Super Bowl yesterday. What an awesome look back. Jayne Kennedy still looks amazing and I'm glad Brent didn't have to do this alone. RIP Jimmy, Phyllis and Irv. Greatest pregame team of all.

YT recommended me this for some reason.

Man this brings tears to my eyes my childhood

Do you have the longer version of this?!

Hey Stevie, It’s true. You made the right call. I had to leave the forum due to certain circumstances. But the choice was yours.

I think you made a good call my friend. I was a member of TVNT in the mid-2000's, but my relationship with them started and ended on bad terms after I got banned almost a dozen times because of a useless obsession I had with old news copies from a TV station that was caused by my mental illness, which was completely my fault. Thankfully, through professional help, I managed to grow up and move on, I mean that's what you have to do, but I'm absolutely shocked by what transpired over at TVNT and to say that I'm really disappointed in the forum staff as well as the folks responsible for this mess is an understatement. I think a majority of the forum admins, moderators, and other staffers need to step down and bring in some folks that can help restore their reputation, but if the site shuts down because of all this, it will be sad, but it won't surprise me.

That “Weeters” is a control freak…our newsroom banned TVNT years ago.

I don't go the website anymore for good reason. Good on you for disassociating with them.

It’s a shitshow now. That forum has lost its way. I go there for some nuggets in Out and About, Sports, and the CZcams finds but that’s it. I have WAY more interest in seeing Broadcast History pages on Facebook now and talk with people who actually worked in the industry and reflect on old times.

I am desperately looking for footage of John Davis covering the Chicago Rap Group Sneak Attack. It happen on the weekend August of 1985 86 or 87. Help!

Makes awesome sense, seeing that KDKA would be bought by CBS itself, making Channel 2 Pittsburgh a sister station to another Channel 2 in Chicago (WBBM)

Pre-9/11 stuff.😎

1972’s “Catch 5” for WEWS was Frank Gari’s first promotional campaign for a TV station. Mr. Gari is the vocalist in this video.

RIP Arnold Diaz 1949-2023
