Dwight Lauderdale has been at Eyewitness News/10 News/Local 10 since 1976, and since 1973 in the Miami/Ft. Lauderdale TV market starting at WCKT, now known as WSVN.
WPLG’s site has an extensive info on Lauderdale’s 30th anniversary complete with ‘Then & now’ images, timeline, video and more

I made a point to watch on Weds night, since 10 had been promising a “look back” at Dwight’s 30 years. It was shamefully lame. It was as much a promo for the station website as it was a retrospective piece. After the 30 years, Dwight — and the viewers — deserved better.
If my name were associated with that unprofessional quality video, I would slash my throat.
The crappy quality of the video does not change the fact that Lauderdale is an icon of SF news. Happy 30th! – especially in an industry that seems to be more interested in the young than in the experienced.
