Action News

For most of the 1980s WPIX featured a unique dual news format. Since it was a “superstation” – an independent that was carried on out-of-city cable systems, the news format was split into two: “Action News” and “Independent Network News”. Action News was the “New York” feed of the news; INN was the “network” feed, fed out not only nationally on cable but to independent stations across the country. The music and titles differed for both, but the set was the same – the “11” logo was replaced by the INN logo for the national feed. After several format changes, INN was discontinued in 1990.
