Amateur hour.

My clearest memory of Close was in the early 80s when a crazed man took over the studio and forced Close to read a rambling statement (don't remember what it was about) before giving himself up.

So Kent Dana started at 10, made his career at 12, and ended at 5. Cool.

@allnewtpir This must be before he joined KPNX in the 1980s then! I believe he replaced the departing Mike Hambrick as Linda Alvarez's co-anchor at KPNX…

If anyone has any other clips of these Phoenix news shows, I'm looking for ones with Mary Jo West (the blonde woman in that first out-take),

I grew up in Mesa. Left in 1984 and have never been back. Watching these clips is like going home!
Does anybody have the video of the 1982 live on-air hostage incident involving Bill Close and gunman Joseph Gwinn? I will post the audio of on-air incident soon!

Bill Close always gave me the feeling he was talking down to me. He had such a high opinion of himself - I just did not choose his News 10 very often... Ray Thompson on Ch. 12 was just the opposite - Mister Personality plus...
