Hello all:
Thought I would just sort of Randomly update a few things..First, I know it's been 2 months since the last post..I think it's beyond promising I'll post on a certain date or time..Future posting will just depend on certain factors, such as whether we can come up with more vintage listings/stories, new or unusual local vintage TV/radio clips/film come about, or some large news story in the Cleveland area Broadcast scene..
Some interesting developments in the Facebook world..There has been a large spike of interest in the KYW Facebook page in the last week..Veterans Eric Braun, Gary Stromberg and Joe Mosbrook have been sharing excellent clips and stories..We've decided to change the KYW FB page title to include WKYC-Radio/TV from 1965-72 (Just before the radio became WWWE/WWWM)..It has been great how Broadcast people have come out to share stories of the KYW/WKYC years and I'm looking forward for more to come..
On a sad note, we've lost a number of folks recently that had a great part to play in the classic tv field including George Lindsey, Doris Singleton,Frank Cady, Andy Griffith and yesterday, Ernest Borgnine. Seems that way too many of the greats are leaving us as of late..Kind of sad..
