In Chicago it's 1975 again

[Kevin Vahey]

CBS in a desperate move to jumpstart WBBM-TV's newscasts have decided
to bring back Bill Kurtis and Walter Jacobson to co-anchor the 6 PM
news as of September 1.

In the 70's into the early 80's WBBM was considered to be the best
local newscast in the US.

WBBM has been a non-factor for over a decade as it has never recovered
from their ill fated attempt. To do a WSVN-WHDH format in Chicago as
yellow journalism doesn't fly in the midwest. In fact Chicago is one
place Rupert Murdoch failed with a racy tabloid.
