Cincinnati's Bob Braun Show Circa 1979

Cincinnati TV icon Bob Braun hosted his own daytime TV variety/talk show on the NBC affiliate, WLWT and in this edition he opens the show by talking about the previous night's charity softball game featuring Country Music radio station WUBE's All-Stars of which he was a team member. He is surprised by WUBE's Promotions Director who gives him a bouquet of flowers as he had tweaked his ankle running the bases during the game. Cameo appearances on field from Cincinnati Red's Ray Knight, Dave Rose, brother of Red's star Pete Rose, and even the ol' Lefthander and Hall of Famer, Joe Nuxhall. In studio is BBS cast member Rob Reider. Weak video quality but after 30+ years, not too bad

Thanks for adding this, I used to watch this show with my Great Grandmother in the 70's and early 80's. She lived in Forest Park with my Grandmother. This really brought back a lot a lot of memories. Thanks so so much. Takes me back right to that place again.

Channel 41 used to carry this program in Louisville, Kentucky back in the 1970s and 1980s. I think it was on at 2pm. Nice to see this again, brings back a lot of memories.

Amazing seeing where Rob Reider started and comparing it to where he is today.
