I'm always impressed with the local talent on the New York network affiliates; so many of them are either future network stars, or already appear on the network. Look at WNBC's 11 p.m. news: Jim Hartz, who in 1974 becomes host of Today after the death of Frank McGee*, is the news anchor; Dr. Frank Field, who frequently appears on Today as the network meteorologist, gives the weather; and former New York Giants great Kyle Rote, who announces AFL games on Sundays with Curt Gowdy, does the sports. See, they made it everywhere, but they made it in New York first.
*Fun fact: Jim Hartz also succeeds Hugh Downs as host of the PBS series Over East; he must have had something of a cottage industry taking over for former Today show hosts.
