Frank Flippin' Reynolds!!! One of my all time favorites.
Also, today's news needs more typewriter sound effects in the background...It makes the news reader sound more credible.
I’d forgotten how good Frank Reynolds was.
Nice that it had the duration that a newscast should have, not the ten minutes they have nowadays
Loved Peter Jennings, Sam Donaldson, and the rest of the ABC news team. Too bad that journalism is has gone out the window.
And those three top broadcast journalists were on the number three news network. That just goes to show how deep the pool of great journalists was back then. As a photojournalist during the 1988 presidential election, I ended up walking down a hall with Sam Donaldson while covering Al Gore. He started off by saying to me, “man, that was a real snore fest.”
@@Nicksonian I love it!😂
Everyone knows World News Tonight never heated up until minute 19.
I loved the ending when Frank Reynolds would come out in a robe and introduce all of that night’s guest stars.
No, that's usually about the time my dad had me go outside and adjust the TV antenna so we could get a better signal. Good ol' analog TV.
What a memory! Bernard Shaw reporting for ABC!
There were numerous Brim coffee commercials with different actors, all using the same exact script. I could literally recite it as it played here, 43 years later.
Anybody could recite the commercial because the script doesn’t change.
Frank Reynolds was a World War II veteran who earned a purple heart. He is laid to rest in Section 7A of Arlington National Cemetery.
I voted for John Anderson the first time I cast a vote for president. By November, Anderson had lost the Republican nomination to Reagan and was running as an independent. Can you imagine Anderson running as a Republican today? Bush and even Reagan would feel uncomfortable with today’s GOP.
I had no idea he ran in Republican primaries
Anderson would move from GOP to independent on April 24th.
Ahh, the beginning of the end.

"WNT" was still using the electronic ticker version of their iconic theme music. But wouldn't it be a few months after, when they switch that out for a more orchestral version?
Later that month (either on or near march 21, probably when nightline was launched) WNT used that theme. The synthesizer ticker theme would continue to be used in lead-ins to commercial breaks and ABC Newsbriefs until spring 1997. The synthesizer ticker theme was dropped for the open & close first on WNT Sunday in Fall ‘79 and then weekdays of WNT in Mid-March ‘80
Catherine Mackin. She covered Ted Kennedy in this newscast and I just happened to look her up. From Wikipedia: “ In 1972 she became NBC's first female correspondent to serve as a floor reporter at the national political conventions. In 1976, she became the first woman to regularly anchor an evening network newscast alone.” Sadly, Mackin died of cancer in 1982 at the much too young age of 43.
Nice to see another tape
I remember being annoyed with the Visa commercial with the jingle naming every state in the union, as my home state of Minnesota is mentioned last, almost as an afterthought.
On this day: Wednesday March 5th, 1980 is also the continuation for PBS' Festival '80 Membership Pledge Drive which began on Saturday March 1st and continues through Sunday March 16th, 1980 on many PBS stations including my local station: KPBS San Diego (which the station began the Festival '80 campaign on Friday February 29th (a day earlier) than the national drive)!! Festival '80: No Matter How You'll Look At It, You'll Like The Looks of It!!
A nation of grownup acting like grownups. How long ago it all seems.
That was my 13th birthday!
Hard to believe 43 almost 44 years since this aired!! I know I.m an old man now at 51 almost 52 in April of 2024.
Don't say you are an old man, because I that would make me one at 50. I am right behind you.

The stocks used in the DJIA have changed over the years, as well.
@@iscariot666But each time they change a stock in the index, they adjust the formula so that it doesn’t affect the value of the index.
Apple’s IPO was nine months later.
