WEWS TV "Catch 5" Local News Promo from the 1970s



Uploaded by: doctorsuarez
Video Description:
Between the psychedelic animation, goofy photo-flipbook effect, saccharine-sweet music, and the all-around goofy news team, this local news promo is everything the movie "Anchorman" should have been.

I was raised in Shaker Heights and would have been about nine when this was used (I'm thinking 1971/72/73) and what I remeber about this promo was that WEWS made a HUGE deal about it, and the new theme music, etc. John Hambrick even went so far to point out on air that the "Dancers were from California"
Now if only someone could find a tape of Ms. Fuldheim throwing Jerry Rubin of the set of her show that would be a real BLAST!

Oh Lord this music brings back memories. Don Webster still hasn't changed one iota. LOL

This was absolutely cutting-edge stuff when it first aired! It was also the best promo music investment WEWS ever made. The "Catch 5" theme (same jingle, new arrangements) was still being used in the mid-80s!
Local news sure was more compelling to watch in those days. Imagine what would happen if anyone tried to put a sassy senior commentator like Dorothy Fuldheim on the air now! The corporate owners and their bootlicking consultants would haul the general manager away in a white coat.

Your'e right..at least he still looks good, and he still has his hair (even if it's gray). I seen an updated photo of John Hambrick on a acting agency website, and he's old and bald..too bad you can't turn the clock back 35-40 years...
