This video tape is believed to have been recorded on the afternoon of Friday, November 23, 1984.
The clip opens with two commercials leading into the 4 PM news (one for a new cigarette lighter and another for Kraft Light Mayo).
The KNBC "News4LA" team at 4 PM consisted of John Beard , Kirstie Wilde, Kevin O'Connell (weather), and Fred Roggin (Sports).
John Beard starts the news with reporting on a 5.7 Mammoth Lakes earthquake which occurred earlier in the day. At Mammoth Lakes, correspondent John Marshall calls into the studio with a remote report (satellite trucks were rare at that time). Kirstie Wilde reports on findings from the Cal Tech earthquake lab. Diablo Canyon nuclear plant is noted. Several stories air, including a story reported by Vikki Vargas on an attempted kidnapping and shooting in Riverside County. John Beard discusses the case of Baby Fae (first chimpanzee heart transplant recipient) and a marijuana seizure off Oxnard.
Some holiday shopping stories air starting with Jim Thomas from Torrance's Del Amo Fashion Center.
At 8:30 into the clip, a new TV line called Proton is noted to be entering the market at $800 to $2000 per unit. A wrist TV from Seiko is noted as well as a robot and a doll line. The reporter notes that "fluorescent colors" were hot.
Bob Navarro reports from South Coast Plaza in Costa Mesa. There are many shots of South Coast Plaza in the midst of the 1984.
A commercial break occurs with a short announcement on the Los Angeles Children's Museum. There is a William Conrad narrated commercial for the Ready-Lite from First Alert.

John Beard goes out to the Magic Kingdom with Kevin O'Connell teasing the lighting of a 60 foot Christmas tree on Main Street U.S.A. O'Connell gives the local weather report. This is particularly interesting given that Disney now owns ABC, including KABC 7. The weather forecast includes some increasing clouds and a front swinging through California with some precipitation. O'Connell gives some promotion for some Christmas themed events at Disneyland.
