Channel 5 News Scrapbook:
The
First Installment
Alas, only a contact sheet survives of the photos below, shot by the curator
in the old 19th floor newsroom---then under the tutelage of news director Ed Planer---during
the early months of 1976.
This was a year
of transition at Channel 5. Principal news anchor Floyd Kalber ended his 16
year tenure in the spring to become the news reader for the Today Show
(his replacement was Ron Hunter). Anchor Jane Pauley joined the Today staff
in the fall as the replacement for Barbara Walters.
Too bad the curator's camera failed to capture Ira Sutow and his polyester
leisure suit. Though these photos are black and white, the able desk man's garment
would have shown up in fully saturated blue.
