It's a throw back. Either they or 7 ran that line 'back in the day'. |

Sometimes they would substitute "Do you know where your parents are?" |

Ray LOL
I think Doris Biscoe started that didn't she? It was somehwere along in the 70's. Then it morphed into "Do you know where your parents are?" if I'm not mistaken. |

It will be funny if the substitutes was like:
"It's 11pm, you wanna have a good time?"
"It's 11pm, where's my dinner?"
"It's 11pm, I'll be late for work"
"It's 11pm, my phone haven't ring yet." |

I think it began at Channel 2 WJBK, back when Bob McBride was the station manager, probably in the mid 1970s. |

To bring attention to the lack of parental skills some people find amusing. |

It's not a local thing. They say it on Fox 5 in New York too. |

It should be more like, "It's 3:00a, do you know where your idiot kids are since you're not enough of a parent to care that they're outside my house in the middle of the night, drunk, buzzed on god knows what, yelling and playing basketball under the streetlight?"
Whoops, that kinda turned into a rant about my neighbors. Sorry. |

Mikeg...Right-On
"This is WJBK - TV2, Detroit; it's 11:00 o'clock...do you know where your children are"?
Jack LeGoff, John Kelly, Jerry Hodak, and Ray Lane - we need you! |

"It's 10pm, do you know where your children are?"
i guess detroit kids get to stay out later. |

^It actually started in the 60s in NYC too. They spoke about it on the 40th anniversary special for the 10 o'clock news on WNYW this past summer... |

It was "It's 11 o'clock. Do you know where your children are.", and it did start on WJBK in the mid '60's.
It varied a bit on weekends. On Friday and Saturday night, it was:
"It's 11 o'clock. Do you know where your parents are."
Of course it led to parodies by us wantabe humorists like:
It's 11 o'clock. Do you know....
....who your children are?
....what your children are?
....why your children are?
Not as good as "It's 2 A.M. and there's the Bob-Lo boat, sinking at the foot of Woodward...." |
