KING 5 promos & station IDs 1977-78

Lou Dobbs worked in Seattle that is scary.

The only person from that era who's still with KiNG is Jean Enerson. A PNW legend.

@Captmiloman Jeff Renner started in '77 and Linda Brill started in '78.

wow... just brings me back. Thanks again for the footage of Jan Bridgman. I wonder if King 5 would have any archive footage available.

@jbridgman It's definitely worth trying them to see, especially given it is family your are inquiring about. Some stations are better than others at preserving their broadcast history, with the news division usually faring the best overall.

@jbridgman I just turned up another video with her (and a tiny snippet of Mike James): watch?v=4eDSckyeq4c

@tkaye2 thanks!

So this is where Lou Dobbs was in the pre-CNN era.

[tkaye2]

@tvtimetravel He worked in Yuma and Phoenix before coming to Seattle.

@tvtimetravel fyi Aaron Brown also started in Seattle on KIRO7 in the 80s

[tkaye2]

@nonix81 He actually goes back farther than that. "Skip" Brown, as he was originally known on-air, started as a talk-show host at Seattle's old KTW newsradio, in 1973. KING-TV picked him up a couple years later, where he was an editor at first, then moved on-camera. He went to KIRO in 1986.

The colors of the longest-running K-crown logo does resemble NBC's trapezoid N logo from 1976-1980, seeing that KING-TV IS an NBC affiliate.
