An example of how the "brady bunch" open was used for the 11pm editions. Ernie Anastos opens this newscast, joined by Ellen Fleysher, who is sitting in for Rose Ann. Announcer Gil Hodges makes note of the substitution in his live voiceover. The accompanying close gives a good idea of just how crowded the set could get at the end when the key reporters and presenters gathered around to chat.
