- [Narrator] If your 11 o'clock network news
tries too hard to fit too much into 30 minutes--
(audience cheers)
(dramatic music)
And comes on too late to wait up for.
- [TV] And now, the 11:00 network news.
(man snores)
- [Narrator] Or carries too many stories--
- [TV] Combat-ready housewives, film at 11.
- [Narrator] Too important to miss,
you don't wanna miss the Channel 5 News at 10,
a full hour of in-depth, local,
national and international news
delivered by distinguished
broadcast journalist, Hal Fishman,
Jann Carl, Larry McCormick and Stu Nahan on sports.
So if your 11:00 network news
is too little, too late or just too bad,
watch LA's most award winning newscast,
"Channel 5 News at Ten," an hour sooner,
a half hour longer and a whole lot better.
(tape fast forwarding)
- And that's the news.
Gotta go.
- Hey, New Year's Day is coming up quick.
- And that means it's time
for LA's greatest holiday tradition,
The Tournament of Roses Parade on Channel 5.
- Well, the folks here spend months and months
getting ready for that one glorious day.
- [Stephanie] And the crew at channel five is no different
because they know year after year
more people watch KTLA's coverage than anyone else's.
- [Bob] And no one brings it home any better than KTLA.
And I'll tell you it's for a good reason too.
- [Stephanie] Of course, we have the best camera locations
and Channel 5 was the first to televise the parade.
And we've been on the same prime corner for 43 years.
- [Bob] Well, we've got cameras on helicopters.
We've got cameras on cranes, on floats.
It's gonna be something.
- [Stephanie] And KTLA's stereo sound is unmatched.
Our microphones are strategically placed
so that it sounds as if the parade
is marching right through your living room.
- There is one drawback.
I must warn you about Stephanie Edwards though.
- And old Bob Whobanks!
- Who?
(both laugh)
- Actually folks, I do think
we have the most fun doing the parade.
- So please join us again this year
for the 1990 Tournament of Roses Parade.
Live coverage begins New Year's Day at 7:00
here on channel five.
- [Bob] Can I talk?
- [Stephanie] No. - [Bob] Oh.
