I remember the first newscast I watched and it scared me to death. Something about how fighting had broken out in Vietnam and I remember asking my mom if there was anything to worry about. After that day, I watched the news, the local and national news.

Al Schottecottie(sp?) which was Channel 9
Nick Clooney, yes that Nick Clooney I think he was on channel 12

Then on Sunday mornings we would watch Charles Karult. After Karult on channel 19, there was always an Abbott and Costello movie on or some classic comedy.

So many memories.

 Then you'll certainly remember these guys:



We used to get some of the Cincy channels like channels 5, 9 and 19 up in Dayton, but the reception was pretty fuzzy. I used to like channel 19 because it was independent. We didn't have any independent stations in Dayton in the 70s, just the big four (ABC, CBS, NBC and PBS). WXIX used to have some good old timey shows on Saturdays as I recall, like the Bowery Boys, the Three Stooges and Our Gang. My mom told me they were her favorites when she was a child, so I would watch them too.
