The late 1970s: Back when WXYZ had serious journalism. This makes me wish the station would go back to being an ABC O&O. It was a much better run station then. Scripps has slowly ran WXYZ into the ground.

Not so bad. But you only need to go back to about 2006 or so.

I started there May 5, 1974 and we were still owned and operated by ABC. I agree that those were the glory days. When Scripps took over the cuts and changes came one after another.
