Talk:Primetime (American TV program)

Date of first episode?

Was the first episode of Primetime really on August 3rd, 1989? I was looking around the internet and I found dates near it, like the 4th and 6th. I was just wondering because that was the day I was born, so I'm curious, but also just to make sure the article has the correct date. 69.121.66.69 05:34, 30 October 2007 (UTC)

Ah okay, I was able to figure out that it was indeed first aired on August 3rd using LexisNexis and pulling up the transcript for the first show. We got the right date. 69.121.66.69 02:49, 2 November 2007 (UTC)

I remember that first episode with the audience having Q & A. It was very bad, because there was one guy who was making a bad assumption in his question, which the guest immediately contradicted, yet he kept on pushing the subject. The Saturday Night Live parody was a classic. How soon were the changes implemented? MMetro (talk) 13:55, 24 April 2008 (UTC)

POV?

"showcasing an unmatched skill in getting out ahead on any big story"

The POV is a bit suspect in this article. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 69.59.108.13 (talk) 23:38, 21 March 2009 (UTC)

Was the episode/segment on homeless vets Notable?

One or two episodes of PrimeTime are called out in this Wikipedia article. According to Ken Berry, who made an appearance on the PrimeTime Live segment on KGO's reporting on the homeless on 1992-04-23, that segment had national repercussions. The page linked below is on Ken Berry's personal web site, reporting on his own work with Harry Swets, the homeless advocate turned reporter whose reports on KGO Radio Ken produced. So Ken is apparently a primary, secondary, and tertiary source on the same events? I guess that's OK. Berry does not go into what the "National impact" actually was. https://coveringthecity.com/san-francisco-homeless-reporter-harry-swets-hooks-kgo/ — Preceding unsigned comment added by Tzf (talk • contribs) 17:47, 8 March 2021 (UTC)
