I don't think 10 was still Action News that year, they actually renamed their newscasts 10 Eyewitness News that debuted sometime around early of 1988, that which ran until 1994 when WTEN changed the branding to the current News 10

I just looked it up, and found January 25, 1988 to be the change date from "Action" to "Eyewitness". Thanks for that correction.
