WAVY Archive: 1983 Newscast 10-4-1983

A look back at a WAVY 6pm Newscast on October 4, 1983

[@josephgary6093]

I love seeing these old videos from the 80s I remember that logo etc Terry Zahn RIP

[@DiamondJoe]

Thanks for including even the old commercials in the newscast intact. Green Stamps - WOW!

[@markasflood124]

No Beach Ford Commercial!

[@GarlandPollard]

A very good group of people at the station. And an EXCELLENT staff. I forget the name of the news director, but he really turned around the news operation, when channel 3 had been the long time leader. And newsroom and studio in an old produce warehouse in Portsmouth!

It Was Lloyd Doblins

About the abortion story ... I knew Bishop John Gimenez of Rock Church for years when he first opened a home for young people who were addicted to drugs. My mother volunteered with them to paint that home before it opened. I waited on them at the restaurant as a 2nd job nearby in the 1980s when he, his wife and friends came in after church services on Sundays. Very kind to me. A street is named after him in Va. Beach. R.I.P.

R.I.P. Terry Zahn

Remember the anchors, reporters, weatherman and sports guy well....those were the days at the Beach. (and throughout Tidewater)

[@jeffharrisTXB]

Old-school computer graphics? Check. Electronic theme? Terry (subbing for Bob Grip) and Diana? Check. Now-retro logo? Moustaches on Don and Bruce? Double-check! Tidewater? Big old check! I remember this era quite well. Back then, they spelled out W-A-V-Y instead of saying WAVY on-air. I am so old!

[@hrtvfan2870]

Don Slater with hair. Quadruple check. 😁😁😁

[@markasflood124]

Later the news theme was changed to a rock- like tune which was used from 1985-1989

[@markasflood8196]

Good Question: Who Did Voiceover Plugs For The 11pm Newscast For WAVY-TV 10 In 1983-84?

[@russellgrimes3491]

I am surprised there were so many Bigger newscasters in the early 80s in Virginia.

[@GarlandPollard]

Dow was $1236!

[@gamernumber01]

Amazing that the school has barely changed since the 80s lol

[@RazorFoxDV]

The 1983 World Series wound up pitting the Baltimore Orioles against the Philadelphia Phillies. Wonder if Diana made a couple bucks on that bet with Bruce.

[@markasflood8196]

Good Question: Was This The 11pm or 6pm Newscast?

[@markasflood124]

They need to bring back that logo

[@JoshuaCaudell]

I agree and they also need to bring back the daily news to wavy tv 10 as well.

[@markasflood124]

They need bring back the old sets.

[@mochafiend1]

Markas Flood i miss that partnership.

[@keonta81]

man that logo back then

[@markasflood124]

This logo was used from 1982-1989

[@johnfloyd2551]

Bout time they update the current logo with the wave in the zero..

[@markasflood8196]

​@@markasflood124It Was Actually 1981-1989 Is When They "Gold 10" Logo

[@markasflood8196]

Beautiful Lady @ 24:34

[@fairfaxcat1312]

Tragic murder of a child at Norfolk General Hospital. Parenthetically, the sports focused on last title before the local Orioles franchise was eventually ruined by the poisonous Lord Peter Angeloser.

[@Dana_inc]

Same shit different year! Never happened and never will!
