SOWNY » ABC Has Its Own "Heidi Bowl" Moment » October 15, 2024 11:25 am

The next evening on the Huntley-Brinkley Report NBC kind of apologized.  David Brinkley’s typically bemused intro is worth the watch.  Chet Huntley wasn’t as avuncular as he had a boatload bet on the Jets and wasn’t eager to be seen leaving 30 Rock following the broadcast.  Gentlemen with flat noses were waiting for him in the lobby downstairs…

A laptop in a closet is a sad end to CJOY.  Worked there briefly in the 1980’s as a weekend action van reporter with a lot of good people on staff.  From what I’ve read the Chorus owners are absentee landlords.
