The final broadcast of the Satellite News Channel, Oct. 27,1983. This is the final 70 minutes of the SNC before the plug was pulled for good by a takeover from Ted Turner’s CNN.
The anchors and staff try to finish the broadcast professionally but the tension/party atmosphere makes for some strange viewing.
Love the camera burn in mark to the left of the anchors head. I guess they figured since they were going off air that day why bother replacing the camera tubes.
From back in the day when meteorologists wore flowers the size of softballs on their jacket lapels.
