NBC Nightside was last seen September 20, 1998 on most NBC stations then on September 22, 1998 Leno and Sunset Beach were there on most stations but NBC scuttled the remains of "Nightside" with Leno and Conan now. it offered Overnight newscasts on the weekends, where as WNN and UTTM did and does not go away. it started it all. It all starts in 1982 with Nightwatch on most CBS stations and Overnight on most NBC stations on the coast until 1983 for NBC and 1992 for CBS where it replaced by local programming on NBC in 1983 and UTTM on CBS in 1992 and Weekends They have test patterns for ABC, CBS and NBC, not overnight news but from the old file radio-info it was same and now its different on this board currently KEYC owned by united is not carrying Up to the Minute but signs off at 1:05 and WCAX has a hour of Up to the Minute at 2:00 a.m. Monday and 3:05 a.m. Tuesday to Friday.

I used to watch NBC's overnight news program in 1982/83 hosted by Linda Ellerbee and Lloyd Dobins. It was a laid back type of program and I wish I had thought about taping some of it while it was on. Thats also when I purchased my first VCR..at the low cost of $400.00!
The NBC Nightside that was offered in the 1990's was produced out of Charlotte NC at the studios of WCNC-36 (called "nbc-6" because of local cable channel number). It's main anchors were Kym Hendrew (now Kym Clark) now an anchor at WMC-5 (NBC) in Memphis. And Tom Donovan, who is now an anchor at WHP-21 (CBS) in Harrisburg, Pennslvania

Man - I had forgotten all about that program! I had to have been either in elementary or middle school, but I would stay up all night during summer vacations watching infomercials, Nick at Night (back when the shows were *real* classics) and the overnight news. I would always flip between WNN, UTTM, and Nightside. However, I would generally stick with Nightside. I can still remember the set and graphics (which always seemed a bit low-budget when compared to the newsrooms and graphics at ABC and CBS. And the only anchor that comes to mind is Tonya Strong. I think she is somewhere in Ohio now (either Cincinnati or Cleveland). It was a great program - maybe NBC will consider getting in that game again one day...
