If you type in " Amy Mace" you will recognize a closing theme from wsyx that has Michelle gailun saying "and thtas our news for now" but the tape cuts off when she say thank you and you u only hear part of the closing theme..

I wish I remembered exactly when WTVN changed to WSYX

Wow, look at that hair! Carol's hair now is the COMPLETE opposite.

Thanks for posting.

I can't believe Carol Costello was here in Columbus back then!! I forgot that she was here, now she is on CNN

Lou Forrest is a frigging loser. He ran out on his wife and kids and fled to another country to avoid several hundred thousand dollars in unpaid child support.

.....and Steve Midget sports (lol)

[jkminnich]

Steve Minich not Midget.

[manysons]

Miss Lou's professionalism.

[MissyKwan]

Lou Forrest is skinnier than I remember LULZ

Is the close of this also available?

[musiqman25]

I remember this. It was more boring than WBNS and WCMH. NewsCenter is much better.

[GuinnessGrrl]

I wonder if Michelle & Larry were talking to each other on the phone? LOL!!

[somewhatlongdong]

Look at the size of that hair!

[abwvu1]

look at those ugly blouses haha

[somewhatlongdong]

I don't know how old Carol Costello is, but she is still a great looking lady

[SpecialTVOffer]

Was this taped from an antenna?

[columbusmediatalk]

Yep and at the time, Channel 6 had a very short stick. They built a taller tower a couple of years later.

I'm from Dayton, but used to watch Carol Costello ( i still watch her on CNN sometimes today) because I thought she was pretty darn hot!

[francis1971]

Awesome!

[applesauce2100]

WOW that brings back many memories of Channel 6 News. I was like eight yrs old. I remember when Carol left and went over to BNS for the main anchor gig! Michelle retired in 1991 and was replaced by Deborah Countiss. 6 was in second place with Oprah lead in and did beat 10TV in the late 80's. It always wasn't in the gutter! As for now Sinclair owns it shall I say more...............

[henrytvwhiz]

Just so you know, the 6 logo has not changed in 20 years.

[TheKid965]

It actually has, very slightly, though you'd probably have to look at them side-by-side to notice the difference.

[ASKconard]

Ah yes, when Channel 6 was competitive.

[TheKid965]

Channel 6 was *ever* competitive? Seems like it's always been at the mercy of 4 and (especially) 10...

[ASKconard]

Yeah, they beat Channel 4 in the ratings around 1980 to 1983 or so. Then I think they were neck and neck with Channel 10 around 1989 to 1991 or so.
