Zelman, pioneer of TV news who helped start CNN, dies at 100 LOS ANGELES Local TV newscasts in the 1950s often consisted of five minutes of news, five minutes of sports and another five minutes of weather.

In 1961 he created "The Big News" at KNXT-TV (now KCBS-TV) that presented 45 minutes of local news, sports and weather, kicked off by the regal-looking Jerry Dunphy intoning: "From the desert to the sea to all of Southern California, a good Local news was never the same, and Zelman, late in his career, went on to help create another breakthrough in TV news that naysayers said would never work CNN.

He wanted strong on-air personalities. In addition to Dunphy, "The Big News" had Maury Green for investigative reports and Ralph Story for on-air essays..
