In the News (Sat 10 Jan 09)

  
  Action News - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Action News is a local television newscast format in the United States.
WPIX-TV in New York City, an independent station at the time (now affiliated with The WB and owned by Tribune Broadcasting), picked up the Action News concept (and music) successfully for its 10 PM newscast.
The name is found on fewer stations than Eyewitness News is. The format has also developed somewhat of a reputation as a tabloid format, although this was not the intention of its creators (the "Action" refers to the pacing of the newscast and not the actual news content).

KYW's Eyewitness News began the revolution in 1965 when former news director Al Primo created a news format that allowed reporters to appear on camera telling us the news from where it was happening, rather than the anchor read news gathered by reporters in the field.
The Action News format was rigorously paced for maximum viewer appeal, the number of stories from 8 to as many as 25.
The talent doesn't change much, Action News has always been a well produced and written newscast, the routine is always the same, the opening and ending are always the same, the music is, THANK GOD, still the same and night after night we tune in for the Big Story.

The charity is advising women to discuss all the options open to them with a health professional, in order to achieve good seizure control during pregnancy for the woman and pose the minimum risk to the unborn child.

Money Wi$e—an educational partnership between Consumer Action and Capital One—is designed to provide consumers with the information they need to start developing a plan for tracking their spending and saving more money.

Consumer Action is a non-profit 501(c)(3) advocacy and education organization founded in 1971.
