10Viewer 338 Posted January 20, 2020 Posted January 20, 2020 At long last....an unedited WCPO clip with Al. The Guinness Book referred to him as the highest rated local news anchor in America at one time. 1

Dan Ashley is one of the news anchors. Not only did Nancy O'Dell became a nationally-famous entertainment reporter, but also Dan Ashley moved to the Bay Area's ABC7 KGO San Francisco/Oakland/San Jose. I didn't know Nancy O'Dell went by Nancy Humphries, nor did I know Dan Ashley anchored in the South Carolina low country before going to the San Francisco Bay Area.

hmaxhanson 650 Posted January 22, 2020 Posted January 22, 2020 You have to admit this looks pretty good for small town LPTV news in 1983: 3 1

Hughes 906 Posted January 22, 2020 Posted January 22, 2020 46 minutes ago, hmaxhanson said: You have to admit this looks pretty good for small town LPTV news in 1983: So, apparently K26AC was an indirect predecessor of what is now WFTC satellite KFTC. The ads for the subscription TV service offered by the station seem nondescript, it doesn't say what the name of the service is, if it's a service we haven't heard of or one of the ones known to exist (like ONTV, SelecTV, VEU, Wometco, Preview, etc.). 1
Samantha 2905 Posted January 24, 2020 Posted January 24, 2020 (edited) Oh it's John Boler's LPTV—the first ever in the continental US! (BC 11/15/82 p88) He had a grant for a full-power conversion of 26 in the mid-80s as KXBJ. In 1986, K26AC and K18AI were the second-to-last STV stations in the country (and even this is slightly incorrect as WFTY and WNUV exited STV at the same time)... Edited January 24, 2020 by Samantha

Sorry to bring this up and I know it doesn't deserve to belong here since its 2008-present but its related to the ERA topic. If you've been wondering what Carol Jenkins (former WNBC'er) has been up to... here you go. https://www.c-span.org/video/?466272-4/washington-journal-carol-jenkins-discusses-efforts-ratify-equal-rights-amendment
