WTVJ First WDZL 39 News at 10 in 1996

Willard Shepard and Jackie Nespral anchor the WTVJ-produced 10pm newscast for Tribune-owned WDZL (soon to become WBZL, later WSFL, and sold to the Edward Willis Scripps company)

Monday, January 6, 1997. I have this recorded myself (I remember being pretty hype for this lol)

Interesting you have for voiceover, Ed O'Brien (who does VO for Hearst stations) and the voice of Tribune, the late Doug Paul.

Later Bob Tracy (and Jim Cutler) did the voiceovers.

Very historic for South Florida, as WSVN has its first 10p.m. competitor.

Maybe first competitor at 10 but I’m sure you knew not the first 10 pm news in market. :). Sadly channel 39’s position at time and quite frankly WTVJs struggle At time was not really a match

[@JHollowayNetwork]

I wish we had more of WDZL/WBZL 39.
