Action News 1989

Channel 6's Action News had a strong news team in the late eighties for their 5 pm news. Anchoring was Broadcast Pioneers member Marc Howard & Lisa Thomas Laury. Broadcast Pioneers member Dave Roberts was doing the weather and Scott Palmer held down the sports fort. Part of the success for WPVI-TV's Action News is do to promotion, both on and off the air.
