  • Turn back the clock to the 6 p.m. Eyewitness News from Oct. 8, 1980. Our top stories include a Jordache Jeans blimp crash, a rat crisis in Rockland County, Ted Kennedy on the campaign trail, a Penthouse Pet who rejected the title of Pet of the Year, and much more.
    Most of the newscast is here, except sports.
    The anchors are Roger Grimsby and Bill Beutel. The newscast opens cold, with Grimsby talking over the start of the theme music, without the traditional open playing.

    October 8, 1980 (I was 8 year old at that time) I was in my 6th year in The Bronx when all this was happening. The NYCTA buses and subway cars were experiencing a Graffiti pandemic. Carter will lose the presidency to Reagan a month later. This new decade would start a development for me that will garnish so many awards along the way
