Everyone who’s made a living in local TV since the 1960s owes a debt of gratitude to Al Primo, who transformed local TV news and made it a successful and profitable business.
In a new hour-long documentary, "Al Primo & His Eyewitness News Revolution," by Brian Calfano, a journalism professor at University of Cincinnati, Calfano traces the seismic changes Primo made in local TV news when he came on the scene in the 1960s.
Primo’s revolution, branded as Eyewitness News, is still the foundation of how local TV news has been practiced since, to one degree or another.
