 For a time in the 1980s, it fell into last place, but still fought with WNBC-TV for second place.Retaining only Grimsby, Cosell and Antoine from the earlier "Noisemakers" format, Primo also hired Tom Dunn away from WCBS-TV to serve as Grimsby's co-anchor.After Dunn departed for WOR-TV in 1970, Bill Beutel returned to the station as his replacement and for the next 16 years, Grimsby and Beutel were the faces of "Eyewitness News".
