Dick Goddard who would be at TV 3 till 1965..Then after a brief time in Philadelphia, come to WJW-TV 8 in 1966.. Where he still is 42 years later



First TV Guide listing for KYW-TV 3 Eyewitness News at Noon Monday, May 1, 1961. One of the first, if not the first, full 30 minute local TV Newscast in the USA. The name "Eyewitness News" had been used at KYW-TV since April, 1959..They were the first station in the Country to use that title for a Newscast..

Dick's Triumphant return to Cleveland-March 28, 1966 as the main weather forecaster at CBS affiliate WJW-TV 8 after several months at KYW-TV 3 in Philadelphia..

Cleveland Weather forecasting has had as interesting a history as the Cleveland Weather itself..As in most TV markets, Cleveland has had an assortment of personalities doing weather foreccasts dating from the early 1950's. Most early weather forecasters, were doing weather as a sideline to other duties on TV and radio. Joe Finan, "The Atlantic Weatherman" was doing his thing on WNBK while doing radio on WTAM in the early 1950's..as was Captain Glenn Rowell, also on WNBK even earlier than Finan..WEWS-TV had "Weathergirls" such as "Sunny" Day, Susan Sadler and Miss Barbara Plummer, who was also doing "Romper Room". TV 5 also had Ron Penfound "Captain Penny" as weekend and sometime weeknight weatherman in the 1960s. The main Weatherman at WJW through the 1950's was Announcer Howard Hoffman, although Jim Doney and Doug Adair had done weather forecasts as well..Hoffman remained at TV 8 from 1949 into the 1980's.

May 1, 1961 would bring a number of firsts to KYW-TV 3.Possibly the first half hour local newscast in the USA..As well as possibly the first AMS Seal (No. 45) weatherman in Cleveland TV History,,Dick Goddard..

Dick was born February 24, 1931 in Akron, Ohio. After serving in weather related duties in the US Air Force in the early 1950's, Goddard graduated in 1960 from Kent State, majoring in Drama and Broadcasting..

Dick is also an avid cartoonist. He turned down an invitation to interview at Disney Studios in California, opting to stay in Cleveland and try his hand at TV on KYW-TV 3 with Eyewitness News starting Monday, May 1, 1961. Station staffers told him later that they had a pool going to see how long he would last..

Dick tells the story of his first day on the air, when he decided to tell a weather interest story about a Croaking Frog..Only he was so nervous, it came out "Froaking Crog"

After Dick got settled in, he became the most popular weatherman in Cleveland up to that time. The Other TV 3 newscasts in May 1961 included Bill Jorgensen at 6:30 and 11PM, Big Wilson doing Weather at 6:40 and Jim Gerard on Weather at 11:10..Jim Graner with Sports at 11:15..

Becasue of the forced return of Westinghouse's KYW to Philadelphia and NBC's WRCV (WKYC) to Cleveland, Dick Goddard went with Westinghouse to Philadelphia in June, 1965. He and his wife never felt comfortable in Philly. Thoiugh he says they were treated well, it was never "home" to them.. His replacement in Cleveland, Wally Kinnan, had been very popular in Philadelphia..

In early 1966, Goddard entertained offers from all 3 Cleveland Stations, electing to go to WJW-TV 8 because he was a big fan of the Browns and TV 8 sportscaster Ken Coleman, only Coleman left Cleveland a month later..He returned to Cleveland at Channel 8 March 28, 1966 as part of the City Camera News Team at 6 and 11PM with Doug Adair, Joel Daly and Coleman, later replaced by Frank Gleiber . Previous evening forecaster Bob "Hoolihan the Weatherman" Wells was moved to Noon and Weekend Weather before gaining even greater fame on the Hoolihan and Big Chuck Show, replacing Ghoulardi Friday nights in December 1966.

Goddard became the most popular weatherman in Cleveland TV History over more than 42 years at Channel 8..Emceeing live shows all over town, Hosting the Woolybear festival for 35 years..The largest one day festival in Ohio. He also has served as Cleveland Browns Statistician for many years, as well as doing numerous skits for Big Chuck and Lil John..

If any weather forecaster could be called "beloved" it would be Dick Goddard, at least in Cleveland and Northeast Ohio..






From Fox 8's Wilma Smith and Gary Stromberg (Feb. 2008) Newly discovered footage of Dick's very early days at Channel 8..Late 60's/very early 70's..The actual footage has no audio..It had disintegrated from age.. From08country and myfoxcleveland.com

"Six Inches Of Partly Cloudy"

Photo taken with Dick Goddard at the 2009 Ghoulardifest..


TV Guide ad on the return of Dick Goddard to Cleveland fom Philadelphia-March 28, 1966..





Cover of Legendary Meterologist Dick Goddard's new book "Six Inches Of Partly Cloudy" on sale now..

One would think, if you've been in Northeast Ohio long enough, that if anyone in TV should write a Biography, Dick Goddard would be the one..Well, he finally has gotten it done..With editing help from Tom Feran, the book, "Six Inches of Partly Cloudy" is now available through Gray Publishing Co. of Cleveland.

The book is an eclectic mix of stories about Dick's 50-year career in Television, Interesting Weather and scientific facts, thoughts from co-workers at WJW-TV 8 (Tim Taylor Robin Swoboda, among others), some fan memories (including one from yours truly) about Goddard's impact on Northeast Ohio, and Goddard's own thoughts on various subjects., including his love for pets..

The book is full of Dick's own drawings, displaying the talent he was hoping to use at Disney..They did call him just as he was to start at Channel 3..The book is also full of photos from his days dating back to KYW-TV 3..


As we said above, the book is a mixture of subjects..I would love to have read more stories about his TV days..Some of the thoughts Dick shares might be a bit "heavier" than one would expect from him, but to be fair, Dick is fair to his subjects..He projects as the "nice guy" even when talking about such subjects as war and religion.


The book is a fairly good read, with a good balance of subjects..If I have any criticism, It's that I would have started writing the book earlier, or possibly even written two books, one a straight biography, and one about his thoughts on other subjects..There would have been more than enough material for 2 books..All profits from the book will go to Animal Charities..



Rare audio from Dick Goddard's last Eyewitness News at KYW-TV 3 Cleveland..Others on here include Pat Murray, Jim Graner and Tom Haley..June 18, 1965..

KYW-TV Cleveland Eyewitness News-June 18, 1965

Encore:Christmas Eve 1959

Originally posted December 25, 2007:A look at December 24, 1959..



A 1959 Holiday Greeting on behalf of the employees of WJW-TV 8 in Cleveland. Doug Adair started at the station in '59. Howard Hoffman, John Fitzgerald and Jim Doney were at TV 8 well into the 1970's. Another name on the list is Casey "Kassem"..actually Casey Kasem, who worked at TV 8 for a short time in the late 1950's before his greatest fame as "American Top 40" host and "Shaggy" on Scooby-Doo as well as other cartoon voices..He was also NBC announcer for awhile.


KYW-3 Eyewitness News Sunday Ad featuring Hugh Danaceau, who worked as a newsman for over 40 years at numerous Cleveland area Radio and TV stations ending at WCLV/WRMR at the time of his passing in 2003..By all accounts, a great newsman and a very authoritative voice..

Kraft Music Hall ad for Perry Como's Christmas Show Wednesday, December 23, 1959.

Highlights of Christmas week 1959:KYW-3 and WKBN-27 had "Year in Review" Shows, sponsored on both stations by Fisher Foods. NBC's Amahl and the Night Visitors is shown for the 10th time, though this year's version was taped in 1958. The Statewide 10 minute Documentary series, "The Ohio Story" featured "The First Christmas Tree."

New Widget..Also November 1961

Not having anything directly to do with the rest of the post..This was an article in the April 16, 1953 edition of the Massillon Evening Independent..WMAC-23 was to have been built in the Whipple Heights section of Canton..(12th St. NW, near Perry Drive)..Accoring to a later Independent article of May 5, 1960, The permit for channel 23 had been cancelled..WAKR switched from 49 to 23 December 1, 1967..


Ad for "45 Hop", which was hosted by longtime Youngstown DJ Boots Bell.. aired weeknights 6:30-8PM on WXTV-It was very rare for WXTV to spend the money for a TV Guide ad..By this time, the station was only on 6-Midnight, and both Movies in the listings had already been shown earlier in the week..The station would leave the air by March 1962..

Encore:Dick Goddard:Cleveland TV's Weather Icon

Hello Folks:
I thought that in light of Dick Goddard's 79th Birthday (Feb. 24, 2010)..We'd present this encore post..A tribute to Dick we posted in November 2008..Finally had a chance to meet Dick at the 2009 Ghoulardifest...Very personable, nice man..

Happy Birthday Dick!!






TV Guide ad promoting the premiere of KYW-TV 3 Eyewitness News on May 1, 1961..
Pictured are Bud Dancy, who would leave KYW/WKYC for NBC New York in 1966
Jim Graner, Sportscaster at TV 3 from 1957-74 and radio voice of the Browns
Dick Goddard who would be at TV 3 till 1965..Then after a brief time in Philadelphia, come to WJW-TV 8 in 1966.. Where he still is 42 years later



First TV Guide listing for KYW-TV 3 Eyewitness News at Noon Monday, May 1, 1961. One of the first, if not the first, full 30 minute local TV Newscast in the USA. The name "Eyewitness News" had been used at KYW-TV since April, 1959..They were the first station in the Country to use that title for a Newscast..

Dick's Triumphant return to Cleveland-March 28, 1966 as the main weather forecaster at CBS affiliate WJW-TV 8 after several months at KYW-TV 3 in Philadelphia..

Cleveland Weather forecasting has had as interesting a history as the Cleveland Weather itself..As in most TV markets, Cleveland has had an assortment of personalities doing weather foreccasts dating from the early 1950's. Most early weather forecasters, were doing weather as a sideline to other duties on TV and radio. Joe Finan, "The Atlantic Weatherman" was doing his thing on WNBK while doing radio on WTAM in the early 1950's..as was Captain Glenn Rowell, also on WNBK even earlier than Finan..WEWS-TV had "Weathergirls" such as "Sunny" Day, Susan Sadler and Miss Barbara Plummer, who was also doing "Romper Room". TV 5 also had Ron Penfound "Captain Penny" as weekend and sometime weeknight weatherman in the 1960s. The main Weatherman at WJW through the 1950's was Announcer Howard Hoffman, although Jim Doney and Doug Adair had done weather forecasts as well..Hoffman remained at TV 8 from 1949 into the 1980's.

May 1, 1961 would bring a number of firsts to KYW-TV 3.Possibly the first half hour local newscast in the USA..As well as possibly the first AMS Seal (No. 45) weatherman in Cleveland TV History,,Dick Goddard..

Dick was born February 24, 1931 in Akron, Ohio. After serving in weather related duties in the US Air Force in the early 1950's, Goddard graduated in 1960 from Kent State, majoring in Drama and Broadcasting..

Dick is also an avid cartoonist. He turned down an invitation to interview at Disney Studios in California, opting to stay in Cleveland and try his hand at TV on KYW-TV 3 with Eyewitness News starting Monday, May 1, 1961. Station staffers told him later that they had a pool going to see how long he would last..

Dick tells the story of his first day on the air, when he decided to tell a weather interest story about a Croaking Frog..Only he was so nervous, it came out "Froaking Crog"

After Dick got settled in, he became the most popular weatherman in Cleveland up to that time. The Other TV 3 newscasts in May 1961 included Bill Jorgensen at 6:30 and 11PM, Big Wilson doing Weather at 6:40 and Jim Gerard on Weather at 11:10..Jim Graner with Sports at 11:15..

Becasue of the forced return of Westinghouse's KYW to Philadelphia and NBC's WRCV (WKYC) to Cleveland, Dick Goddard went with Westinghouse to Philadelphia in June, 1965. He and his wife never felt comfortable in Philly. Thoiugh he says they were treated well, it was never "home" to them.. His replacement in Cleveland, Wally Kinnan, had been very popular in Philadelphia..

In early 1966, Goddard entertained offers from all 3 Cleveland Stations, electing to go to WJW-TV 8 because he was a big fan of the Browns and TV 8 sportscaster Ken Coleman, only Coleman left Cleveland a month later..He returned to Cleveland at Channel 8 March 28, 1966 as part of the City Camera News Team at 6 and 11PM with Doug Adair, Joel Daly and Coleman, later replaced by Frank Gleiber . Previous evening forecaster Bob "Hoolihan the Weatherman" Wells was moved to Noon and Weekend Weather before gaining even greater fame on the Hoolihan and Big Chuck Show, replacing Ghoulardi Friday nights in December 1966.

Goddard became the most popular weatherman in Cleveland TV History over more than 42 years at Channel 8..Emceeing live shows all over town, Hosting the Woolybear festival for 35 years..The largest one day festival in Ohio. He also has served as Cleveland Browns Statistician for many years, as well as doing numerous skits for Big Chuck and Lil John..

If any weather forecaster could be called "beloved" it would be Dick Goddard, at least in Cleveland and Northeast Ohio..

From Fox 8's Wilma Smith and Gary Stromberg (Feb. 2008) Newly discovered footage of Dick's very early days at Channel 8..Late 60's/very early 70's..The actual footage has no audio..It had disintegrated from age.. From08country and myfoxcleveland.com

In closing, on behalf of my wife Linda and me...Here's hoping for a safe and Merry Christmas to all blog readers, and thanks for your support..

Hello Cleveland:Early WKYC Days

Full Page ad in the Cleveland Press Monday,June 21, 1965 just after WKYC arrived in Cleveland. This ad has been featured in TV 3 anniversary programs..Courtesy Cleveland Press Microfilm archive, Cleveland State University

TV Guide WKYC-TV 3"Early Show" ad from February 1968..TV 3 had movies in the early evening time slot as early as 1959..


Hello:
Anyone who has read Cleveland Classic Media from the beginning (March 2007) knows I have written a lot about NBC affiliate WNBK/KYW/WKYC-TV, especially detailing "The Swap" of WNBK to Philadelphia (as WRCV)and WPTZ/KYW-AM Westinghouse to Cleveland (As KYW-AM-FM-TV) in 1956 and the subsequent reversal of the swap in June 1965..The "Hello Cleveland" ad above was featured in local newspapers upon NBC's return to Cleveland. Several months ago, a reader wanted to see the full page ad, which was shown partially in WKYC anniversary specials. I found this at CSU, In their Cleveland Press Microfilm Collection, while in Cleveland Monday for other research..I thought also we would feature three random schedules from the early years of WKYC-TV..

Brief clip on NBC's return to Cleveland..From WKYC's 50th anniversary special..The above ad (Hello Cleveland) is briefly seen..Dick Goddard relates how he came back to Cleveland within months of joining Westinghouse In Philadelphia..



Some more footage of Channel 3's 50th anniversary in 1998..Including a Tribute to the late Jim Graner, Sports anchor at Channel 3 from 1957-75 and radio voice for the Browns..

Comment:Considering the current state of this year's Cleveland Browns, one hopes that eventually the people put in the place to run the Browns show the class and dignity expressed by Mr. Graner in his lifetime covering the team..

Fall Preview:1959-60

Sort of a fun ad for TV 8 movies..

In The Style of Dateline Hollywood and New York Columns..TV Guide goes over some of the Local changes in the fall..Click to read more clearly..

WEWS-TV/WKBN/Fisher Foods' Ad for Ken Coleman's "Quarterback Club"

Double page spread with two ads..A Jerome Kern Special and Fibber McGee and Molly, In Their second week..

Ronnie Barrett, Cleveland Radio DJ..Had hosted Classical Music on KYW-FM in the mid 1950's before becoming part of the first cast on Channel 5's One O Clock Club in 1957..Here, he hosts the 11:20 Movie after the Pete French News..

Note:I copied these pages at the Akron Downtown Library months ago..Looking at the above ad many times I just now got the pun.."The Late Night Show is well above Pa(a)r"..I can be so dense sometimes!LOL!

TV Guide Sitcom preview for 1959-60

Today, lets look at the Fall TV season of 1959-60..Fifty years ago..TV guide was touting it as the "Year Of The Special" as it were, with 400 specials on Network TV for this season..Amazing, when you consider there were only 3 networks..In those days, when a show was pre-empted for a "Special" it was usually a more different, interesting or exciting program than the normal program in that time period..These days, with 500 or more channels, the lines become blurred as far as a "special program" is comcerned.

As far as series programming, the Western reigned supreme, with a total of 29, including 10 new shows. The only Western of this group to last a long time was "Bonanza" which aired for 12 and a half seasons on NBC..Though Laramie on the same Network lasted four seasons..

Next were Private Eyes, mostly on ABC, with Warner Brothers Shows like Hawaiian Eye and Bourbon Street Beat Making their debuts., as well as The Untouchables. Most of the detective shows of this era were gone by 1963..

According to TV Guide, the Situation Comedy was making a comeback, However, of the seven new sitcoms, only 3 lasted past 59-60..Dennis The Menace, Dobie Gillis and Henessey..NBC's ill-fated attempt at remaking Fibber McGee and Molly for TV barely lasted past the Holidays..

Locally, Myrus The Mentalist made a comeback on WJW-TV 8 Tuesdays at 8PM..Bozo also premiered this season on Channel 8 with Ed Fisher in The Clown Costume..New Bishop Sheen films were to air on WEWS Channel 5, along with Notre Dame Football Replays and Mike Hammer with Darren McGavin (Incidentally airing on Retro TV Network weekends in 2009)..KYW picked up Brave Stallion (Fury Reruns) in Syndication..

Lets take a look at a couple of sample program schedules:
