Eyewitness_News

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia Eyewitness News Eyewitness News Eyewitness News is a name used by local television newscasts, widely used in different markets across the United States. It is also the name of a very popular music package offered by Gari Communications. Expansion In 1968, Primo moved to WABC-TV in New York City and took the Eyewitness News concept there with him, choosing music from the 1967 Paul Newman film Cool Hand Luke—the "Tar Sequence" cue (composed by Lalo Schifrin)—as the theme. However, he added a new twist at WABC-TV—chatter among the anchors, which came to be known as "happy talk". WABC-TV has kept the name and format since then, and has been the highest-rated station in New York for much of that time. The format, as tweaked by WABC-TV, was copied by many other stations in the United States, with four other stations owned and operated by ABC—KABC-TV in Los Angeles, WLS-TV in Chicago, WXYZ-TV in Detroit and KGO-TV in San Francisco—using both the format and the Cool Hand Luke theme. (In the case of KGO, since KPIX was already using the Eyewitness News name, KGO named its newscast Channel 7 NewsScene in 1969 and by 1983 simply Channel 7 News, while WXYZ used the Action News name since rival WJBK-TV called its newscasts Eyewitness News; KABC and WLS were free to use the Eyewitness News name as did WABC). Ironically, WPVI, which developed the Action News format, is also now an ABC owned-and-operated station. In addition, U.S. Spanish-language stations also use their own version of Eyewitness News, called Noticias de Primera Plana (Headline News, a concept translation in Spanish of Eyewitness News) on its ownedand-operated stations. A separate, but mostly unrelated, Eyewitness News format was developed by Irv Weinstein in Buffalo, New York for WKBWTV. This format was mostly based not on the original Eyewitness News (though it used the same logo) but rather on the Action News format of its sister stations in the Capital Cities Communications stable. While based on Action News’s brief and numerous reports, Weinstein built his Eyewitness News newscast around attention-grabbing catch phrases and alliterative headlines, along with History Origins The earliest known use of the Eyewitness News name in American television was in April 1959 when KYW-TV (now WKYC-TV) in Cleveland, owned at the time by Westinghouse Broadcasting, launched the nation’s first 90-minute local newscast (under the title Eyewitness), combined with the then 15-minute national newscast. ([1]) The name was then adopted for use by Westinghouse’s other television stations—KPIX in San Francisco, WJZ-TV in Baltimore, WBZ-TV in Boston and KDKA-TV in Pittsburgh—for its local newscasts. After KYW-TV moved to Philadelphia in 1965 (the result of a government-ordered reversal of the 1956 Westinghouse/NBC station swap) its then-news director, Al Primo, created the Eyewitness News format. The reporter would be the "eyewitness" to the anchor in the studio and the viewer at home. He used the cue 007 from the 1963 film From Russia with Love as the theme. The format quickly became a hit in Philadelphia and allowed KYW-TV to surge past longtime leader WCAU-TV for first place, a position it kept on and off until the late 1970s. KYW-TV’s success spawned rival station WFIL-TV (now WPVI-TV) to develop the Action News format to compete with it. (After NBC was ordered back to Cleveland in 1965, the Eyewitness News name left that city until WEWS adopted it for its newscasts in the 1970s.) KYW-TV used the name and format until 1991 and readopted it in 1998. All five major stations owned by Westinghouse prior to its 1996 acquisition of CBS have used Eyewitness News as their newscast titles at some point in time; KYW-TV, KPIX, and WJZ-TV continue to do so. 1 From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia occasional wisecracking or sarcastic oneliners about the day’s news stories. This version of Eyewitness News was used on WKBW as well as other CapCities stations where the Action News name was in use by another station, such as WTVD in Raleigh, North Carolina. Eyewitness News Market Name Albany, New York Station WTEN Affiliation ABC Currently O uses No Outside of the United States In Mexico and other Hispanic American countries during the 1970s and 1980s, some local newscasts also used the Eyewitness News format, under the names Noticias de Primera Plana (Headline News) and Noticias de Acción (Action News). The title was used in Canada, on CTV affiliate CFRN-TV in Edmonton. In Japan, TV Tokyo branded its newscasts as Eyewitness News, but abbreviated as EyeNews. In Australia, BTQ-7 Brisbane adopted the Eyewitness News branding in the early 1970s. The branding was also employed by NWS-9 Adelaide for its evening newscast. TEN-10 Sydney and ATV-0 Melbourne, the principal stations in the Ten Network, adopted the Eyewitness News branding in the mid-1970s and it was later adopted by other stations in the Network Ten group as BTQ-7 and NWS-9 later relinquished the brand. Regional affiliates for the Ten Network, including CTC-7 in Canberra (Ten Capital Eyewitness News), Southern Cross Network in Victoria, and QTV in Townsville, also used the Eyewitness News name. The Ten Network dropped the use of the Eyewitness News name in September 1988 but later re-instated it in July 1989 for six months, and then again in January 1991 for four years.
