- ... that the lead news anchor for a Miami TV station eulogized its founder as "the guiding light of my professional life"? Source: https://newspapers.com/article/the-miami-news-last-tribute-wolfson-hon/147211382/
- ALT1: ... that the chairman of CBS had to ask its Miami TV station to show the CBS Morning News, even for a week? Source: https://www.miaminewtimes.com/news/aye-skipper-6365145
The word, "beg" is a bit of a stretch. I think "ask" is better.
- ALT2: ... that when she worked at a Miami TV station, Katie Couric—later anchor on Today and the CBS Evening News—wasn't allowed to anchor newscasts?

- @Mgreason: I'd like a bit more commentary on the rejected ALT0/ALT2 hooks. I'd be fine with "ask" instead of "beg" on ALT1. Sammi Brie (she/her · t · c) 02:58, 25 January 2025 (UTC)
- @Sammi Brie: ALT0 says that a relatively unknown news anchor eulogizes his boss. That doesn't grab my attention. I initially rejected ALT2 because it was early in Couric's reporting career; not a surprise she wasn't ready for anchor. If "later" was removed, it might be more interesting. We can go with whatever you choose. Mgrē@sŏn (Talk)
- @Mgreason: Reworded ALT1. I can see how ALT0 is a recognizability issue. By the way, pings don't work without a timestamp. I do have an ALT3 idea now that might be a little lighter and more approachable: Sammi Brie (she/her · t · c) 03:42, 25 January 2025 (UTC)

- ALT3: ... that the movies available to Florida's first TV station were so bad early on that the host called his show "The P.U. Club"? [1]
