A KPNX Action News Digest from November 1985, complete with some quick teases, a station ID with the We're Going Where You're Going theme and in the middle, a radio promo for KKLT "K-Lite 99 FM" featuring Lisa Malay. Yes, the Lisa Malay that later became KPNX's station voice (and was brought in to do other Gannett stations like KTHV):

He must’ve been replaced by Harry Porterfield eventually, as Mort went to WDIV to replace Wes Sarginson in 1978-early 1979.

 

Not quite... Mort came to 'BBM as insurance because someone wanted Kurtis. Mort was to become the new #1. But Kurtis stayed and Mort was plugged into Harry Porterfield's weekday spot. Which moved harry to the weekends....

Crim, tired of waiting for Kurtis to leave, went to Motown shortly after Post Newsweek took over Detroit's Channel 4.

Porterfield was reinstated at 6 after Crim's exit. Another demotion to weekends in 1985 to make room for Kurtis' return didn't go as smoothly.
