Big Rollo Smokes 261 Posted January 14, 2018 Posted January 14, 2018 Perhaps some of the readers here are aware of recent uploads of clips on YouTube from Rick Thomas, who has been posting airchecks of L.A. television from the early 1970s...including lots of material from KNBC and KABC-TV.

I did a little research after that was posted, and I could find nothing that said he was testing the waters to move out there.
