WSTM 11 PM News (May 9, 1986)

This classic 1980s newscast from central New York's Channel 3 News features Tom Miller at the desk, sports with Roger Springfield, and Wayne Mahar with your weather report. Stories include the Richard Hennessy case, an update on the Chernobyl nuclear accident, the potential risks for burgers cooked well done, screenings for colorectal cancer, S.W.A.T. graduates from Hancock Air Force Base, a dress rehearsal for Syracuse University's commencement ceremony, The Fugs, the Weatherstation 3 forecast (yes, hard to believe that in 1977 it snowed just 16 days before the biggest "summer blockbuster" of that year was released), Mother's Day celebrations, along with college lacrosse, NBA and NHL playoffs and MLB scores and highlights (that song choice for that Cubs game is more appropriate for the minors). Finally, a portion of Peter, Paul & Mary's performance at the Landmark Theatre rounds out tonight's broadcast.

Wayne Mahar was still at the station when my grandparents lived in Syracuse in the 2000s.
