Loved the Noon Show. My mom always watched when she was home for lunch and my sister and I watched during the summer. Teddy and Elaine were great. Wonderful memories.
Very cool! I used to get up and ready for school with Ralph Emery, Norm, Jerry and the band. They had a lot of singers who went on to great fame and fortune after that show. I remember their long time sponsor, Mid-South Aluminum-"Don't put it off, put it on!".
Good to see a clip of Teddy Bart and Elaine Gannick from the old "Noon" show too! Great station, great memories!
This is awesome footage! Please post more if at all possible! Does anyone know what the (very funky) music is in the background when the reporters are giving their names?
Wow, I just found this. What history! I can't believe how much TV I used to watch when I was a kid, how highly I thought of Ch. 4 back then, and how little of it I watch now.
I followed a link from Dan Miller's blog to get to this video! Wow! Thanks for posting this. It brought back a lot of great childhood memories for me.

back when reporters were allowed to have some local flavor in their accents.. Now, they all sound like they are from Ohio !!!!
