NEW YORK (AP) - WABC-TV was back on the air Monday morning after a fire damaged equipment in its Manhattan studios and filled the building with thick smoke just before the start of an evening broadcast.
No one was injured, and the fire was quickly put out, but the smoke forced an evacuation that knocked out programming a few minutes before the 11 p.m. Sunday newscast. The station's viewers in New York, New Jersey and Connecticut were left with a black screen or color bars.
WABC-TV returned in time for a 5 a.m. newscast Monday morning, with the two morning anchors sitting at a cramped desk in what looked like an office.
