TV Time: ‘In the News’ Rollerskating and the Olympics (’79)

Rollerskating 'In the News' 1979. The flared trousers made you go faster. Fact!

Here’s an “In the News” segment from CBS Saturday Morning programming in 1979. The clip focuses on rollerskating and the attempt to bring the sport into Olympic competition. I always loved when I caught an “In the News” report and the spacey theme tune and narrator Christopher Glenn’s voice are indelibly etched in my brain. On display below we have an intro by Bugs Bunny and a cool, Western-themed commercial for “New” Hubba Bubble bubble gum included.
