In Memory Of Bill Hall
(1946 - 2011)
And
Dan Miller
(1941 - 2009)

From an era when the Videos were not High Definition, but the broadcasters were.

Bill Hall's weather segments within the May 3rd, 1985 "Scene At Six"*

*Sorry, no Snowbird.


The byplay between "Dan'l" and Bill (and Charlie Mac, for that matter)

Note the first generation computer weather graphics and the small chromakey area that Bill has to work within.

And the "WeatherBank" and it's green numbers. A fellow YouTuber and former "SM'er", WSMTVcritic has indicated that those on that board were connected to thermometers, et al in the towns on the board by DIAL-UP MODEM.
