In the memory, honor and in tribute to the late, great William O. "Bill" Bolen.

Sad news out of Birmingham today, and it is with a very heavy heart we're sad to say that former long time WBRC morning and midday anchor Bill Bolen has passed away today. Bolen worked at WBRC-TV (back when 'BRC was an ABC affiliate before switching to FOX in '96) for 40 years until he retired almost seven years ago (January 28, 2010). Bolen came to 'BRC in 1969 an anchored the 10PM News before moving to mornings in 1973. Bill Bolen was 81 years old. Thoughts and prayers are with Bill's family and to Mr. Bolen's extended family at WBRC-TV FOX 6. Rest in Peace, Bill and Godspeed. http://www.wbrc.com/story/35388666/bill-bolen-longtime-wbrc-anchor-has-passed-away

1. I wish Jerry Taft all the best in retirement. 2. I bet even money that the successor for the Chief Meteorologist spot will be Cheryl Scott.

I have previously uploaded the last WGNX News at 7:30pm (12/9/94). Two days before the switch to CBS. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=id=OUk9NzcKCJA;t=16 And this news update is from mid December 1994 when 'GNX (Now 'CGL) now affiliated with CBS.

Jim, I also have a request: Do you have any more newscasts or news open montages from D/FW, Austin, San Antonio, Houston, and/or other small market newscasts or news open montages from Beaumont, Lubbock, Waco, Tyler, Amarillo, Abilene, Midland-Odessa, and El Paso? As a native Texan, I would love to see more.

Jim, If can find KTVT's special program about switch to CBS, as well as more vintage newscast from Houston, San Antonio, Austin (Hopefully KTBC (Pre-FOX)), please post it. Thanks.
