KRON1990 Open Steve Newman 2016-01-31 | KRON's 5 p.m. news open on April 23, 1990. Not the best voice-over announcer the station ever enlisted ... or it's most over-produced open. But, It's a little slice of history. Great to see the legend Evan White in his heyday. My dear colleague Emerald looks great too! Yes, regrettably, there were active shooters leading the news even 25 years ago.

WFAA 1978 Cant Drive 55 report Steve Newman 2010-08-25 | WFAA forced truckers and other motorists to drive 55 mph between Dallas and Fort Worth in this newscast excerpt of a prime-time special circa summer 1978. A much younger Byron Harris shows how drivers responded to the limited freedom imposed on them during the late 1970s energy crisis. Only North Texas's overwhelming news leader back then could have staged this audacious scenario at a time before competition from cable, satellite and other local stations eventually ate away at WFAA's average 60 percent share of all TV viewers with their sets turned on. I had just joined News 8 about the time this aired, and it clinched a love affair with the station that survives to this day ... albeit unrequited.

1976 KXTV Color Radar Premier Steve Newman 2008-03-21 | Steve Newman introduces a new "Rainbow Radar" to viewers in Sacramento ... in the middle of the worst drought in memory. No significant rain showed up on it for a couple of years. KXTV's parent company Corinthian Broadcasting (Dunn and Bradstreet) purchased radar units for all of their stations, mandating they be called "Rainbow Radar." Steve usually just called it color radar. It didn't dawn on Steve at the time that the director could have superimposed the radar sweep and data over a color map graphic to make it far more attractive. Hindsight. (less)
1979 ABC World News Tonight Promo Steve Newman 2008-03-21 | At this point in the evolution of ABC News, the experiment with having Harry Reasoner co-anchor with Barbara Walters had failed miserably ... mainly due to Reasoner's patronizing attitude toward his colleague. By the late 1970s, ABC News president Roone Arledge selected four personalities to share the World News Tonight limelight. Frank Reynolds anchored from Washington, Max Robinson brought news from 'the heartland' out of the Chicago Bureau, Peter Jennings reported on overseas news from the London Bureau and the always lovely and talented Barbara Walters brought interviews as only she can. Ratings slowly climbed to the point where World News Tonight eventually beat both NBC Nightly News and the CBS Evening News, marking the first time ever that ABC had the most popular network evening newscast.

The hotel suffered an explosion from a 1,200 pound bomb on August 27, 1980 that left a crater three stories deep when detonated by the FBI. The bomb was placed by John Birges, a heavily in-debt Fresno landscaper who had lost at least $750,000 at Harveys and was hoping to extort $3 million from the bomb threat. He was convicted and sentenced to life in prison, where he died from liver cancer in 1996.
