Ready for some classic Ohio clips?

Wow, that WKYC open is pure new! They are lacking a good chunk in the Cleveland news archive...

 

This must’ve debuted when Amanda Arnold took over with Doug Adair that month. She lasted maybe over a year before getting replaced by Mona Scott, who later married Doug. This also is (I believe?) the first clip on YouTube showing their set in full, which resembled WLS and WXYZ (which were both owned by NBC’s rival ABC at the time.)

 

Channel 3 was surely a turnover place from that point till the 1990s. Sports was possibly the least affected, as Jim Donovan gained the stability once had by Jim Graner, in 1986, a decade after Graner’s death. One of the most notable replacements before Donovan was Tom Ryther in his 2-year gap from the Twin Cities.
