Our First Anniversary

Miss Gloria Brown..Hostess for a 5-minute program daily at 10:25AM..Following Tom Haley's "Cash On The Line" movie at 9AM. Gloria Brown isnt as well known today, but she was on WNBK-TV/KYW and WTAM-1100 Through most of the 1950's..With co-hostess Mildred Funnell, She hosted "Mildred and Gloria" and "Idea Shop" on WNBK/4 through the mid 1950's. Seems Ms Brown was TV 3's answer to WEWS-TV's Paige Palmer..I have heard she is still living in the Cleveland area today..

Hello everybody:

March 28, 2008 marked the first anniversary of Cleveland Classic Media..I had no idea how, or even if this would be accepted when we first started this..It has gone way beyond what I thought it would at first...It honestly amazes me at how much people have enjoyed the blog. The site has grown from an average of 60 visitors a day to over 100 nearly every day, from all over the United States and many parts of the world..The most readers have come from the Northeast Ohio area, of course.. I feel this area has the most extensive Broadcasting heritage..and that is what I want to bring out..I appreciate any comments and all the feedback via email,,It also has been neat to learn different ways of posting things. When we first started, I had no idea how to use a Scanner or how to post video..It has been neat to learn those things and am trying to do more to keep the posts interesting..Thanks to all for your support and comments..
