Rachel Tiede introduces our full 11 p.m. newscast from Jan. 20, 1981. It was the day Ronald Reagan was inaugurated into office, and 52 American hostages were released from Iran, after 444 days in captivity.
At the time of this newscast, we were CBS affiliate WAST. We became NBC and WNYT later that year.

Later that year, Bob Kirk will begin his 10 year run at WTVH-5 Syracuse. Nancy Colzan looked so beautiful. Can you guys at Ch 13 please post full newscasts from the 70s ASAP.

9 months later, new call letters and new affiliation.

Viacom (yes, that Viacom) owned WAST/WNYT at the time, along with WVIT (its callsign means “Viacom International Television”). I’m surprised that this newscast didn’t end with Viacom’s dreaded “V of Doom”. WAST/WNYT at the time might had the rights to distribute Viacom’s shows in the Albany area, including The Honeymooners, Twilight Zone, I Love Lucy, All in the Family, Family Feud, and others.

If WNYT 13 in Albany still retains its CBS affiliation up to this day even when Viacom would be sold to CBS and now merged with Paramount Global, the channel would have been a CBS O&O station and sister station to WCBS TV in New York City.
