Eyewitness News is a style of news broadcasting that is used by local television stations in different markets around the world. It refers to a particular style of television newscast with an emphasis on visual elements and action video. It replaced the traditional "man-on-camera" newscast.
The earliest known use of the Eyewitness News name in American television was in April 1959 when KYW-TV - at the time, based in Cleveland, Ohio and owned by Westinghouse Broadcasting - launched the nation's first 90-minute local newscast (under the title Eyewitness), which was combined with the then 15-minute national newscast. The name was then adopted for use by Westinghouse's other television stations – KPIX in San Francisco, California; WJZ-TV in Baltimore, Maryland; WBZ-TV in Boston, Massachusetts and KDKA-TV in Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania – for their local newscasts.
After the KYW-TV call letters, management, and some staffers moved from Cleveland to Philadelphia, Pennsylvania in 1965 (the result of a government-ordered reversal of a 1956 station swap involving it and Cleveland's WNBK (the current day WKYC) between Westinghouse and NBC) its then-news director, Al Primo, created the Eyewitness News format. In this format, which was meant to be faster in pace than the standard newscast format (in which an anchor simply read headlines), a reporter in the field would be the "eyewitness" to a news event to the anchor in the studio and the viewer at home. The anchors became personalities instead of presenters with the introduction of banter, or "happy talk" as it was named by Al Primo. Anchors would give their own personal comments in between stories to let viewers know their personalities.

HOUSTON (KTRK) -- Houston police say the man who led officers on a high speed chase from southeast Houston to Brazoria County was initially a passenger in the truck. Officers stopped the truck because the driver had two felony warrants for aggravated assault. While they were taking him into custody, Jose Luis Orta slid into the driver's seat and drove away. The actual chase started at West Orem and Almeda in southeast Houston and ended off of Highway 521. "At some point during the chase here in Brazoria County, the suspect displayed a shotgun out the window as he was still fleeing from the officers," said Lt. Robert Blain. A tire on the truck blew but Orta kept going. The finale was on the property of Providence Plantation where the road ended. Thousands watched as the chase played out...

well, it's something that I am so very cautious of
the age old fear of life, loss and love
well, it got much deeper last time you left, oh
so I'm doing ok at trying to keep it from
coming back around
there goes the sun behind the moon
there goes my heart all dressed in blue
only because I was only a fool for you
guess my heart got caught on more than loss
yes, I left a trail behind me
thought I'd covered my tracks
swore I'd never look back
but somehow, love found me
there goes the sun rising so soon
there goes my heart all dressed in you
