70 Years of ABC7: Behind the scenes of TV news in 1988

Описание: The movie "Broadcast News" featured frantic scenes of producers and editors behind the scenes, racing to get last minute news stories on the air. It won seven Oscars, including best picture of year in 1988. https://abc7ne.ws/361azda

At the time, the movie got mixed reviews from real television news employees, including Pete Wilson, who was then an anchor at ABC7. According to Wilson, some parts of "Broadcast News" were spot on, some were grossly exaggerated and some parts were just plain wrong.

So the ABC7 News team decided to make their own program to show the audience what newsrooms were really like. Wilson hosted the program, which was called "The Making of Channel 7 News."

Over the past 70 years, ABC7 has shared so many memorable moments with the San Francisco Bay Area. We’re proud to be an integral part of television history and of this amazing place we’re lucky enough to call home. From our start as the first antenna on the old Sutro Tower, to changing the game of local news with community-based reporting, we’ve always had an eye on Building a Better Bay Area.
