Lawson Deming-50 years in Broadcasting

WKYC 50 years clip with a segment on Woodrow


Hello All:
I was looking through the Plain Dealer Archives, as I pretty much do every day trying to find articles, etc. of interest..As I did so today I fould a couple of outstanding articles on the late Lawson Deming, who was famed as Detroit's Sir Graves Ghastly from 1967-Late 1982..Before this, however, he had been at WTAM Radio and WNBK/KYW/WKYC Cleveland from 1947-66..His biggest fame in Cleveland was Woodrow's (Clay Conroy) assistant who provided voices for Woodrow's Puppet friends..Even before WNBK, he had been in radio since 1932..

What follows are two separate profiles in the Cleveland Plain Dealer..The first from January 29, 1965 in TV Week where James Flanagan discusses Deming's career to 1965..

The second article is from August 12, 1982..Columnist William Hickey catches up with Deming on his 50th anniversary in broadcasting..At the end of 1982 Sir Graves has begun to be preempted by Sports on WJBK-2 in Detroit..So the show wasnt officially canceled till 1983..Deming continued to make appearances as Sir Graves into the 1990's before passing away April 24, 2007..

Big Chuck and Lil John-Back Where They Belong..

Part One of a lengthy Plain Dealer article by Richard C. Widman..Attending a taping..Discussing why The Show works..

Part 2:About The Supporting Players in The Skits and The Show's History to 1986..

Part 3:General Thoughts from Chuck and John..Mentioning that the Show's 20th Anniversay is coming up..

Big Chuck and Lil John Hosting a Movie on The Channel 8 set..

With the recent annuncement That Big Chuck and Lil John have returned to WJW-Fox 8 in a new Skit Show Saturday Mornings (11AM) as of September 10, 2011, I thought it would be a good time to give them a plug..The Show has a slightly new opening, with Chuck and John Introducing many of the skits..Some on the first show I hadnt seen before..A lot to look forward to in the coming weeks..

I found this lengthy article on The Big Chuck And Lil John Show during their peak..This was published in the Plain Dealer Friday, August 22, 1986. Written by Richard C. Widman, the article goes to a BC&LJ taping, and talks in depth to the hosts about the history and legacy of the series to that point..And mentions the fact that their show's 20th anniversary is coming up in December 1986. I want to thank the Cleveland Public Library and The Plain Dealer for the opportunity to be able to access the PD archives from home..Has been such a blessing and a help to me with the blog..NOTE:You can click each page to read the print a little better. While The Print came out small, it did come out clear..You might still have to zoom it in a bit..

Big Chuck Retirement-Story-2007

February 16, 1966:Johnny Cash Show in Canton:From WHOF 1060

The above advertisement is from the February 11, 1966 Dover (Ohio) Reporter. WHOF Radio 1060 sponsored The Johnny Cash Road Show at Canton Memorial Auditorium..Notice the ticket prices:$3.00 reserved seats and $2.00 General Admission..

Worth noting the Statler Brothers were part of the show by this time..Their first show with Cash was 2 years earlier (March 1964) also at Memorial Auditorium..

The 1060 frequency has had a long and colorful history in Canton: Begun as WCMW in 1946, the call letters were changed to WHOF in 1961 and aired Top 40 music before changing to country in 1965.

WHOF would become WOIO in early 1967 doing talk as "2-way radio" until the early 1970's..Cleveland Sportstalk Icon Pete Franklin worked at WOIO in 1967 briefly before landing at WERE-1300 Cleveland, then WWWE 1100 by 1973..

WOIO then became "Q10" as WQIO 1060 doing Top 40, then country again through much of the 70's, changing again to WRCW,"Adult Radio".

All You Ever Wanted to know about early Hanna-Barbera Cartoons..By Yowp..

"Yowp" character appearance in Yogi Bear Cartoon Duck In Luck (1959) courtesy Don M. Yowp..

May 1965 ad in TV Guide for TV 5 Cartoons..Huckleberry Hound, Yogi Bear and Woody Woodpecker..

Hello all:

I just wanted to alert everyone to a new link..

I've mentioned before about watching Captain Penny in the mid 1960's on WEWS-TV 5 weekday afternoons..At first Ron Penfound as the Captain featured the Little Rascals and the Three Stooges..Later he had Rocky and Friends, King Leonardo, Mr. Magoo, King Features (Beetle Bailey, etc) and others..still later he featured Roger Ramjet and Batfink, as well as newer Terrytoons..

I liked them all, but my favorites were the Hanna-Barbera Cartoons..Captain Penny had Magilla Gorilla and Peter Potamus on the show.




Hanna-Barbera began on Channel 3 (KYW-TV) in 1957 with NBC's Ruff and Reddy, then syndication 1958-59 with Huckleberry Hound, Quick Draw McGraw and Yogi Bear, usually run at 7PM when they were on..All the H-B characters moved to WEWS-TV 5 in spring 1963..Yogi, Huck and Quick Draw still at 7, though they moved to 6:30 by June 1965..Kaiser's WKBF-61 acquired the H-B shows from 1968-75

Saying all that, I want to introduce a friend's blog..while it isnt new, I've enjoyed reading it from time to time over the last couple years..A Vancouver, Canada native, known as "Yowp" on his blog and "Don M. Yowp" on Facebook has been a huge early Hanna-Barbera fan, especially the years from 1958-64..His blog, "Stuff About Early Hanna-Barbera Cartoons" features analysis on specific cartoons, ads, newspaper articles and other memorabilia about Hanna-Barbera and their Cartoons..By the way, "Yowp" refers a dog character that tries to catch a duck in a Yogi Bear Cartoon and in a monotone voice goes Yowp..Yowp Yowp..

Card of Rich Koz as Svengoolie-Saturdays at 10PM

We mentioned in a little year-end review at the end of 2010 that A Lot of new "Classic TV" might be on the horizon in NE Ohio..With Antenna TV and RTV already in the fold, the last "holdout" was MeTV, a station operated out of Weigel Broadcasting in Chicago. MeTV is scheduled to premiere sometime today in Cleveland on WOIO 19.2 and Time Warner Cable 987..MeTV replaces "Weather Now" on 19.2 (Though as of this writing Weather Now is still active without CBS 19 forecasters-Just a Weather radar and the 7-day forecast)

MeTV has a great blend of all kinds of Classic TV shows from the 50's to the 80's..With shows like Marshall Dillon, Dobie Gillis, Petticoat Junction, My Three Sons The Beverly Hillbillies, Cannon, Hawaii-Five-O and many more..

Weekends feature Rich Koz as "Svengoolie" a horror host in the vein of Ghoulardi, the Ghoul, etc..Svengoolie was first played by Jerry G. Bishop, who originated the character in Chicago on WFLD-TV 32 in 1970..From what I've seen, Bishop borrowed heavily from the "Ghoulardi" Persona which he was aware of from his days in Cleveland at KYW..

Link to MeTV Website:
http://metvnetwork.com/

Just a note that MeTV is having a 100th Birthday Lucille Ball Marathon August 5-8, so regular programming will be pre empted..

Here's where Classic TV can be found in Cleveland/NE Ohio..

Antenna TV-WJW 8.2 Time Warner 988
RTV-WIVM 39.1, 39.3 and affiliated stations Time Warner 989
RTV-WAOH 29/WAX-35-Time Warner 14(Akron Only)
MeTV-WOIO 19.2 Time Warner 987
ThisTV-WUAB 43.2 Time Warner 996
TCT-WRLM 47.3 various classic shows on a digital family channel (No cable carriage) Former WOAC-67-47.1 and .2 are carried on some cable systems

I'd say we in this area are quite fortunate to have so many great choices in classic tv..

And now, Heere's Cleveland!! A Tonight Show History..

The Tonight Show has grown into an institution-A tradition in America over the last 57 years that some people watch out of habit..That tradition was'nt always so apparent in Cleveland and a few other markets, especially if Westinghouse owned the NBC affiliate in the early days of the Tonight Show..

To understand the history of the Tonight Show in Cleveland, it's necessary to go back to the early days of TV in the late 1940's...Broadcast days were generally from 4-11PM , eventually stretching from about 1-11 as each station got more established..There was not much news programming to speak of..maybe a couple of 5 minute bulletins at random times of the day..Often the last show of the day was a "Program Previews" which did just that..reminded viewers of program highlights the next day.

March 1949 WEWS-TV 5 ad from Tele-Vue Magazine..Linn Sheldon also hosted "Program Previews" in this era..


This would all change by May 29, 1950..NBC premeiered "Broadway Open House" with Jerry Lester and statuesque blonde Dagmar..Sponsored by Pfeiffer Beer in the Cleveland area on WNBK-Channel 4 and nationally by Anchor Hocking Glass..The show was a mixed success, running 11-Midnight until August 24, 1951..







Segment of Broadway Open House with Jerry Lester-appears to be from December 1950..

Steve Allen with wife Jayne Meadows on the cover on TV Guide-Lake Erie Edition August 21-27, 1954..He was already on with "Tonight" in New York

Clip from the Tonight Show National premiere-9/27/54


WNBK went back to movies and other features until September 27, 1954 when "Tonight with Steve Allen" premiered..The blending of the light Allen comedy touch with musical guests allowed the show to gain a foothold with the late night crowd..Besides, with WNBK being owned and operated by NBC, there was little question of whether Tonight would be carried in Cleveland..


1955:WNBK-TV 3 ad for "Tonight" over NBC-"A Service Of RCA"


The Allen Tonight Show lasted till January 25, 1957, when Steve decided to concentrate on the Sunday Night Steve Allen Show opposite Ed Sullivan..NBC went with something starting January 28, 1957 called "America After Dark" A News/Entertainment program headed by Jack Lescoulie and Al "Jazzbo" Collins with Newspaper Columnists hosting featured segments throughout the country..The show was universally panned by critics..



The Cleveland station, which by this time had become KYW-TV 3, decided to drop America After Dark in favor of "Theater 3" Movies beginning Monday, June 24, 1957 at 11:30 PM..First film being "Fugitives In The Night" (1938)

1957:Typical KYW-TV 3 weekly movie lineup



Meanwhile, other stations were dropping the America After Dark Show in Large Numbers..NBC finally decided to change things up once again by offering what was first called, "Tonight Starring Jack Paar", on Monday, July 29, 1957 (Though later the show would be known as The Jack Paar Show, or The Jack Paar Tonight Show, or simply the Tonight Show)..In Cleveland, Channel 3 had already decided to stay with movies, which were more profitable as a rule locally..Other Westinghouse NBC stations had dropped "Tonight" as well..




Finally, after weeks of negotiation, WEWS-TV 5 agreed to carry the Jack Paar Show in Cleveland, beginning Monday, October 28, 1957..Canton-born Paar had worked at WGAR Radio in the late 1930's, where he was the announcer during the CBS airing of "War Of The Worlds" on October 30, 1938..



1957:Introduction by original sidekick Franklin Pangborn on Paar's first show..Pangborn only lasted a short time before Hugh Downs became the announcer..




In the meantime, KYW-TV 3 had bought a slate of "new" MGM Movies to run opposite Paar on Channel 5 beginning Wednesday, November 6, 1957, The first of these being "Thirty Seconds over Tokyo" (1944)



1959 Ad featuring Movie Host Ronnie Barrett, also known as a radio dj and bandleader..Notice the "Well Above Par" reference..

As WEWS settled into being the Jack Paar station in Cleveland, 1960 brought color to the Tonight Show, which WEWS aired, as their only regular color program until the mid 1960's..
WEWS also carried Huntley-Brinkley from NBC June 29, 1959-July 1, 1960. 1962 "Tonight" Episode with Jerry Lewis..(In between Paar and Carson)..which was aired on WEWS-Channel 5..


Westinghouse decided to actually try to compete with "Tonight" in the early 1960's with "PM East PM West" With Mike Wallace and Joyce Davidson in New York and TV Writer Terence O'Flaherty in San Francisco..Premiering June 12, 1961, PD writer George Condon likened it somewhat to the failed "America After Dark"..An August 19, 1961 Plain Dealer Column by Condon stated that WJW-TV 8 gained viewers from KYW-3 that wanted to watch movies..


On February 5, 1962 The PM West portion was dropped and PM East took over the entire 90 minute show..



The PM East program was cancelled June 22, 1962 and replaced with..Steve Allen..The comedian was signed to Westinghouse to compete with NBC's Tonight Show.  His first show was Monday June 25, 1962..

May 22, 1962:"Promotion for new show on KYW-TV at the Sahara Motel. Disc Jockey Ronnie Barrett was picked as looking most like Allen. Allen's new nightly 90-minute show will begin June 25 on KYW and other stations in the Westinghouse chain"(Original Cleveland Press Caption)

Allen was relatively successful for over 2 years before being replaced by a young Regis Philbin Monday, October 26, 1964..Philbin only lasted about 4 months , his last show being March 5, 1965.

KYW then went back to showing movies for awhile starting March 8, 1965..It was during the 1963-64 period that WJW-TV 8 owned Friday Nights for a time with Horror-Movie Host Ghoulardi..



March 8, 1965 KYW Movies which ran till May 7..




Merv Griffin had been all over TV since the 1950's, hosting music and game shows..He hosted a daytime talk show for NBC in 1962..He began his long career with Group W/Westinghouse on Monday, May 10, 1965 at 11:20 PM on KYW-TV..

Merv Griffin and Arthur Treacher in a 1965 show..

With all these changes, one other big change would ultimately settle things down..The NBC/Westinghouse swap back of Radio and TV properties, whicn took place at 5AM Saturday, June 19, 1965..Partly as a result of this, Merv Griffin's last night show for now NBC-Owned WKYC-TV would be Friday, September 10, 1965..Griffin immediately moved over to WEWS weekday afternoons at 3:30 Monday September 13, 1965.. WKYC-TV 3 went back to movies, beginning with "The Man In The Gray Flannel Suit on Sept, 13, 1965 (The Late Show)..


NBC and Scripps-Howard (WEWS Owner) began negotiatons for NBC to reacquire The Tonight Show, which had starred Johnny Carson since October 1, 1962.."Tonight" finally returned to WKYC February 28, 1966 where it has been ever since..

Ad announcing Johnny's "homecoming" to channel 3, though the show hadnt been on WKYC beforehand..February 28, 1966.

The Tonight Show has been on WKYC since 1966 through Johnny's retirement in 1992, Jay Leno's reign as host 1992-2009 and 2010-present, as well as the ill-fated Conan O' Brien Jay Leno at 10PM experiment in 2009-2010..





Grateful thanks to all that contibuted..While many of the photographs are from my own collection..Videos and some photos from Cleveland Press and Plain Dealer Archive, Ray Glasser, Ira Gallen, Wikipedia and other various sites..

Ad for CBS' late afternoon soaps from 4-4:30:Brighter Day and Secret Storm, aired on WXEL rather than WEWS..WXEL also had Portia Faces Life at 1 and The Seeking Heart at 1:15..By March 1, 1955 all CBS shows would be on channel 8..Notice the scene in the top picture..Hal Holbrook in an early tv role..



Ad for Dragnet reruns "Badge 714" Fridays at 7PM-WNBK


Ad announcing WFMJ-TV's very recent move from channel 73 to channel 21, along with their subsequent power increase..


Ad for Live Hot Rod Races from Detroit on WXEL-8..I assume this was aired in connection with Storer's WJBK-TV 2 Detroit..Storer did acquire WXEL in 1954..


Notice of "Justice" a series apparently modeled after "Dragnet" that ran Thursdays at 8:30..Notice that the ad puts the show on 3 and "73", though WFMJ-TV has been on Channel 21 since August 7..

I thought we would take a look at August 21-27, 1954 in the pages of TV Guide, Lake Erie Edition..

In Lake Erie Dateline, the Cast of NBC's summer replacement series Midwestern Hayride(WNBK) was scheduled at the Lorain County Fair August 24..The Mello-Larks and The CrewCuts were also scheduled to appear during the fair..Toast On The Town(WEWS) will have an Ice Capades preview September 5, with the show scheduled to hit The Cleveland Arena October 1-17..
