Late 2000 Promos
There were many more promos produced in the latter half of 2000 than usual due to the resurrection of the news department at competing NBC 24/51. A good sized flock of 40/29 personnel left for the new gig, including weather anchor Steve Gibbs, reporters Tobie Edwards and Rhonda Justice, and others. Their news debuted on August 3rd, 2000 (one day after the end of July sweeps), and with that in mind, management at 40/29 took the decision to treat the August-September-October doldrums like one big sweeps period leading up to the November book, just to make sure we were in the limelight at much as 24/51.
