WEWS TV "Catch 5" Local News Promo from the 1970s

WOW>... if I didn't feel old before I do now. :)

Too bad TV has zero creativity anymore. I think I was born in the wrong time!

This is why the number 5 was my favorite number for so many years when I was a kid.

remember when gibber burned the iranian flag? welcome to cleveland! what a great news team!

Bill Ward.

Gib Shanley passed away in 2008. I met him a few times. He was a great football announcer for the Browns up until he gave it up (out of frustration with the losing team) in 1984. I still remember when he called the Kardiac Kids games in 1980. I was at that freezer bowl game at old Cleveland Brown stadium when they lost to the Oakland Raiders when they intercepted in the end zone with about 20 seconds to go. Everyone immediately became cold in the stadium.

They used this promo from 1974 to 1975. Great to hear Dave Patterson is doing well. How old is he now? I'm guessing in his 70's.

Are you sure? This kinda looks and sounds like around 1972-73.

Hey, there my Dad when he was a young 'un! Nice suit dad!

Dave Patterson is my father and it's great to see this - not much video of him on-air anymore. He's still doing great, lives in Phoenix and S. Africa, married to my mom still and spent many years on TV in Phoenix before beginning a business leading tours to Africa. And he's neither bald nor fat! :-) Aloha.

Really? Tell me something: When did Ted Henry replaced the oldest of the Hambrick brothers (John Hambrick)???
