A few pointers . . .

WPIX 11/73-Ind New York
10:00 News (Bloom/Raphael/Kamen)

The full names of the Action News anchors as constituted here were Paul Bloom (before he left for San Diego), Sally Jessy Raphael (yes, the Sally Jessy Raphael of 1990's daytime "trash" talk show fame) and Jeff Kamen. This was a few months before Ch. 11 revamped its Action News with Pat Harper and Steve Bosh (who, ironically, when last heard from, also worked out of San Diego).

WNYC 31/79-PBS New York
10:30 News (Katz/Miller)

I.I.N.M., "Katz" would have been Saul Katz; I do know that the latter was Jerry Miller, who worked as a staff announcer for WNYC-TV for several years, and who I remember doing the station's sign-ons and -offs during this period. The only place where one can hear his voice today is on old clips of Barbaralee Diamonstein's About the Arts series (later Barbaralee Diamonstein and . . . ) that ran on Ch. 31 in the latter half of the 1970's, and are now on YouTube.

Also . . .
- A few movie umbrella info: The movie run on WNBC at 2 A.M. was under The Great Great Show, less than a year before that title (and the station's other movie show titles) was jettisoned in favor of the all-encompassing Cinema 4; at WABC, while everyone knows of their double-feature Morning Movie and afternoon 4:30 Movie, their late-night movie shows had the day of a week as part of the title (on this day, Tuesday Night Late); WNEW's 11 A.M. showcase was known as the Metro Morning Movie, and their late-night umbrella (12:30 A.M.) was Movie Greats; WPIX had The Eight O'Clock Movie in the evening, and The Channel 11 Film Festival at midnight; WOR's afternoon movies would appear to have been Movie 9 at 2:35, and The 4 O'Clock Movie at 4 P.M.; and of course, WCBS had The Late Show at 1:30 A.M., and The Late Late Show at 4 A.M. WNET's airing of Peck's Bad Boy (1921) was under The Silent Years umbrella.
- On WABC's Eyewitness News at 11, Tom Ellis (once-and-future Boston anchor) sat with Bill Beutel, a few months before they hired Larry Kane from Philadelphia.
 
Also . . . WCBS's 6 o'clock news would have been anchored at the time by Jim Jensen and Rolland Smith; this was some three months after I saw a telecast of their news at their West 57th Street studios, and the Jensen/Smith pair was already established at 6.
 
Jeanne Parr, who did the local talk show on CBS2 at 9:30, is the mother of Chris Noth (Detective Mike Logan and Mr. Big).

AM New York at this time was hosted by Stanley Siegel, who was very hot for a brief period of time and then flamed out. Phil Donahue was on channel nine and heading toward his "third strike" in New York before channel 4 picked him up and his show took off (ending Stanley's time on channel 7).

And if you count all of Channel 7's efforts at morning talk shows, one can say that what is today Live with Regis & Kelly had a non-consecutive run of 41 years on the air (dating to A.M. New York's premiere in 1970 - and thus, about as old as Ms. Ripa herself). And the Donahue show's later 1977 move to WNBC was actually his second time there - he'd been there briefly in 1971. After leaving WABC, Siegel was at WCBS for about a year.

The other thing: Channel 31's newscast was called News of New York.
