Here are the news headlines as reported on WNEW (channel 5 serving the New York City tri-state area) by staff announcer Tom Gregory, in the early morning hours of Friday, April 5th, 1985. The full sign-off was cut off on the recording, but the Star-Spangled Banner can be found elsewhere on this YT channel.
First there is a minute-long public service announcement delivered by Raymond J. Condren, Deputy Commissioner of the Nassau County Department of Drug and Alcohol Addiction. After that, a brief promo for the Capital Cities Family Special "Leadfoot," airing early Saturday evening. Gregory then reads the international, national, and local headlines, with sports and weather.
The familiar "Milkman's Matinee" theme plays (from "WNEW radio, 1130 on your AM dial") with Marty Wilson announcing. Finally, a quick promo for "Easter Parade," airing Saturday night (the eve of Easter Sunday) as part of the "Movie Greats" package.
