Thanks for the video! Brian Tegland! God bless him.. And Bill Lunn! I had no idea he got into news at WPTY. He anchors at WMC-TV now. They were so edgy, what happened? The news bumps were edgy. The newscast seems ahead of its time. Now they're like everyone else.. Bland. Blah.
I was one of the photographers who shot this. I worked with Kelli Freeman on her part. Even though it was a rough start, it was fun! I look at this now, and love these times. I also realize that none of these people are at 24 now. Brian was the last, now he is gone. Everyone who worked with Brian loved him. We'll miss you, Brian.
I remember for some reason me and my friends used to pretend that Don Carson, was some sort of Super Villain, we even made a wanted poster for him, I was 11 at the time.

Don Carson is now at Northwest Cable News. He was at WTVJ in the mid-70's.

Wow! What a great clip. Lynne Carthane used to anchor at WOOD-TV in Grand Rapids prior to WPTY. Didn't she?

Actually IIRC she made a stop in Sacro first (KXTV News 10 as a reporter)before landing in Memphis...

Wow! That's hilarious. I just missed the big affiliate switchover back in 1995 when I left town. That's for that video.

Thank you so much for sharing this. I recorded this broadcast, but have long lost the tape.
