It was actually 1989 when Hyle Richmond sued WICU. This was 2 years after “NewsCenter 12″ premiered, and still under Lamb-owned Great Lakes Comminucations.

It was mentioned in the show that WICU had no networks to rely on when it first came along. NBC has indeed had programming on Channel 12 since March 15, 1949. The Erie Dispatch of that day lists “Kukla, Fran & Ollie” and “Philco Television Playhouse” as scheduled shows. Network shows such as “Meet The Press” and “Howdy Doody” (both 1947) on NBC, and Ed Sullivan’s “Toast of the Town” (1948) on CBS, pre-date Channel 12′s sign-on.

PR,
I was remembering those guys and Shirley holding champagne glasses, toasting their viewers at New Years, but never taking a drink on camera.

Happy New Year to all the P&T contributors. Here’s to the memory of Ned McGrath, Vance McBryde and Bill Knupp in tuxedos doing the New Years eve 11:00 o’clock news. That was class.
