(From The Daily News -- By Noah Fowle And Melissa Grace)
Channel 7 resumed its local feed by 5 am yesterday after a smoky fire in WABC-TV's main news studio on the upper West Side forced evacuations and knocked the 11 pm Sunday newscast off the air.
"So far so good," said Eyewitness News Director KENNY PLOTNICK Monday. "We're on the air, we're doing newscasts from our newsroom."
No one was injured in the 10:55 pm unday blaze that darkened the station's signal for more than two hours and sent as many as 50 employees fleeing the ground-floor studio on Columbus Ave. at West 67th Street.
The broadcast blackout left viewers looking at an empty screen until about 1 am.
From 1 am to 5 am, Channel 7 ran the West Coast ABC-TV feed, and then the East Coast ABC-TV feed.
