July 1975-Highlights

The Prize Movie with John Lanigan-Lanigan is still on WMJI-105.7 mornings.


Local News-The one thing that WAKR-23 had to differ it much from fellow ABC affiliate WEWS-TV..I've been of the opinion that if a couple more network affiliates could have been started in the Akron-Canton-Massillon region in the mid 1950's, Akron-Canton would have been able to break out into its own TV market..Away from Cleveland's shadow..
