Holy Cow! Eileen Prose, John Willis, Janet Langhart. THAT was television! Believe it or not, the program was briefly syndicated (I used to watch it on WPIX-TV in New York). We moved out of the Boston area (Needham) more than two years ago and Good Day was long gone. I hope Chronicle is still around.

I believe that's Maury Povich hosting Panorama with John Willis in Washington.

Alan King might have been called Alan Smith, can't really remember?

[dogvandave]

Yes, I remember Panorama came on the air in Washington in the 1960's. It was hosted by John Willis, Maury Povich, and I believe the fellows name was Alan King (not the comedian).

John Willis and Janet Langhart were the original hosts.

You need not worry. Chronicle is still around. Though I live to California now, I'm sure that Anthony Everett and Mary Richardson lead the charge for that program.:D

MAN, THESE WERE THE DAYS!! It's a shame they don't use this format anymore. It's been years since I saw WFXT Morning News. That had somewhat of a "yesteryear" format to me. Today, the hour long + news and local news formats have become disasters. Bring back the days with the GOOD DAY format, please!!
