TVC 645.3: From April 2012: Tony, Donna, and Ed discuss how TV news in Los Angeles has never been the same since coverage of the riots that broke out in Los Angeles on Apr. 29, 1992. Topics this segment include Rodney King’s famous “Can we all get along?” speech, calling for peace; why then-L.A. mayor Tom Bradley insisted that KNBC Channel 4, the NBC-TV affiliate in Los Angeles, pause its coverage at 8pm PT on the night of Apr. 30, 1992 to air the final episode of The Cosby Show; and how Bill Cosby himself made an appeal for peace at the end of the broadcast.
