Seattle's KIRO Radio on KTZZ-TV (1/4) April 30th, 1993

*Part one: the morning's 5:05am-5:30am START
(excuse quality of video - gets better)

KIRO Newsradio had cameras in their studio for live-TV
simulcast during the weekday mornings, only between
5:05am-7am on (now-defunct) UHF TV-station
KTZZ Channel 22 in Seattle

During radio's commercial breaks, TV would switch to short public service announcements and station promos that were timed-just-right going 'back' to radio - but sometimes not...
A funny :30 TV ad that ran often during this time for KIRO-TV's
10pm evening news on KTZZ is at the vid's end

Host Bill Yeend (now with another Seattle AM news station), along with Gregg Hersholt (still with KIRO radio in mornings), and the late-great Wayne Cody (died June 2002) with sports

Also featured here but not live on camera:
weatherman Harry Wappler (now retired), and the late
Paul Brendle (died Aug 2002) with the traffic copter

The AM-FM studios were still at downtown Seattle's 'Broadcast House' with Channel 7's TV operations until radio relocated just east of the city in the late 90's.

Phil Harper was also the voice of Harry Nile in hundreds of Jim French produced radio dramas over the years. Steve Thomas is currently the voice of Pacific Lutheran University Football on KLAY 1180 AM here in Lakewood, Washington.

The voice of KTZZ heard here is the late Phil Harper, formerly of KING and KMPS radio. KIRO's Jay Green is doing the Freud impression at the end. And KIRO's Steve Knight is the guy shown getting out of bed in that spot.

Wow... this is one of those things I never thought I'd see again. I thought it was pretty cool at the time -- except that they couldn't rebroadcast any material from CBS Radio. If they could have run some B-roll video from KIRO-TV on some stories, it would have been more watchable.

Cool. KTZZ-TV became KTWB-TV and is now known as KMYQ-TV: My Q2.
