In 1965, Broadcast Pioneers member Al Primo was News Director at KYW-TV in Cleveland. When NBC and Westinghouse were forced to switch back stations, KYW-TV came to Philadelphia and so did Primo. It was here in the City of Brotherly Love that the "Eyewitness News" format originated. Five years later, Channel 3 aired this promo. While it was made for television, we have only audio.
