Wayne I think the date of this newscast is from March 1977, BTW I never knew Ken Phillips did weather for Channel 11, before he then-moved to Baltimore at WMAR-TV two years later.

[@WayneVanDine]

On March 27, 1977, two Boeing 747 passenger jets, KLM Flight 4805 and Pan Am Flight 1736, collided on the runway at Los Rodeos Airport (now Tenerife North Airport), on the Spanish island of Tenerife, Canary Islands, killing 583 people in the deadliest accident in aviation history.

[@mrtee83]

Most NBC stations and affiliates had that same news set as shown on this WIIC video. Compared to the usual full blue chroma key and newsroom style sets.

[@tkaye2]

It's quite a juxtaposition with the Move Closer to Your World theme, as that wasn't used by many NBC affiliates.

[@philipciccone7280]

How many stuffs your late father kept from his time at WSTV KDKA and WIIC ?

[@kduideo]

That is so weird I was thinking of your dad a few hours ago and here I am. Did you see the BLOOPER real of your dad when he was at WTOV??
