WCCO-TV 10pm Report Open October 15th 1978
Sunday, June 27th, 2010WCCO-TV’s “4 News Final” 1976
Saturday, June 26th, 2010
In a pre-24 hour news world in 1976, the final news of the day on WCCO Channel 4 was a voiceover a painted slide reading the day’s headlines. This was after the CBS late movie, the tape cut after a couple minutes, so I am not sure how long this originally aired. Interested if anyone viewing this can identify the names of the “news makers” painted in this picture.
Don Shelby and the I-Team investigate…… a child’s savings account! (1983)
Wednesday, May 26th, 2010
Don Shelby will be exiting WCCO-TV later this year. As many of us who have grown up watching Shelby over the past 30 years we know that he brings a large resume of investigative reporting, launching the I-Team in 1978. While not a lot of Don’s investigative reporting as crossed my collection or as MinnPost’s David Brauer pointed out found on WCCO’s website, I did find this somewhat different video of Don assisting a young girl with a savings account from TCF bank. Not sure if this report ever aired, it has been one of my more unique and humorous finds. From what I gather from markings on the tape this was recorded in 1983.

WCCO-TV News 10pm Report from 1981 with Dave Moore and Doug Moore
Monday, February 15th, 2010
The first half of a WCCO-TV News “10pm Report” from what I believe is from 1981. This was the era of Moore and Moore, Dave Moore being paired with Doug Moore who on the air and print provided the disclaimer they were not related. Doug Moore was Dave’s co-anchor from 1977 to 1982 and was last known to be anchoring in San Jose. A feature of this news report is on Ted Turner’s “new” 24 hour cable news operation CNN.
WCCO-TV Documentary “Faith, Hope, and Parity” by Tom Hendrick, 1978 Full Version

A WCCO-TV documentary on the farmer protest movement of the late 1970s. Reporter Tom Hendrick traveled to Washington D.C. with Minnesota farmers protesting farm legislation as many farms in Minnesota and across the midwest were going bankrupt. An example of in depth local journalism on a timely issue.
