  • Do you have any more of this newscast, such as the close?

  • Nope, this is all I have.

  • You will always see two white people anchoring the news, but you don't see two men anchoring the news anymore!

  • What a shocker! Look at that hair! My children were playing around and dug this up and they're seeing that once upon a time I really did have a job. As for Byron, we had a PR softball team that travelled the area and one viewer called Fran "Franch Foster."

  • Holy crap I forgot Joe Elmore was on Ch. 13! My dad worked at this station for many years up until the late 80's. This particular newscast not long before I was born.

    I actually met Joe Elmore at a grocery store when I was living in Nashville back in 2001. He remembered working with my dad. And yeah I had to chuckle at the "OMG $1 gas!!!" If only it were that cheap again.

  • Everything that is happening now with gas and the flood water of Mississippi river happened back then see nothing has changed except gas is almost $4.00 and I laughed my ass off when the guy said they were trying to beat the river back but the river was winning.

  • @MediaWatchDawg Identical blazers. Now that's what I call a team...

  • OMG!! Look at Joe Elmore!! LOL

    Man that takes me back....when the male anchors wore identical jackets and those sets looks absolutely primitive now!

  • lol how funny. You can see Joe Elmore these days on the Speed Channel on Sat mornings doing the show Horsepower TV.

  • Identical blazers - did they also work part-time at Hertz?

  • Fran Fawcett. Man, nobody could stand her at that station. Joe Elmore also hosted PM Magazine in the early 80's. We did a story on the making of that show for cable when I was a student at Memphis State.

  • geez, how many Ford Granadas were at the gas station that day?

  • Joe Elmore strikes a resemblance to Jon Heder in his role in the movie "Blades of Glory" with Will Ferrell

  • Any newscasts showing the removal of office of Ray Blanton?
