Wow jerry tate was the best he was anchoring the news on 3 in the 1970's i may be wrong but i doubt it, name robin cavicante age 46
-
jerry tate is my grandpa :) i used to enjoy watching him on tv

@TornadoWarning I am ready to see who the new female co-anchor will be with Cameron Harper on WPTY. I agree with you TornadoWarning, WPTY will not become HD anytime soon, especially with lagging ratings (hint: dropping the "Eyewitness News" branding).

@TV5Alive You hit the nail on the head. WKRC makes more money for Newport than any other station in the group. WPTY among other stations won't be going HD for a LONG while. It could even be after Newport sells off the stations in the next few years.

I met Brian Teigland at a radar training seminar in Huntsville AL at Baron Services. The guy was simply one of the funniest and happiest guys I have ever met. Loved him. I remember telling him he helped inspire me to become a TV meteorologist and was incredibly humbled. I was incredibly honored to even be in his presence. The guy was a class act.

@wifiaero Yet, Newport Television (owners of WPTY) invest more in Local 12 (HD)WKRC in Cincinnati. I don't think Memphis will ever be taken seriously as a competitive "mid-sized" local television market, for what reasons...?
-
@TV5Alive Channel 24 is still using this same theme song and also currently in Memphis they are the only station NOT in High Definition
-
Yes. Aint it sad? Channel 24 could do better, or at least get the CBS Enforcer package from Garicomm to upgrade. TV stations must realize that overall presentation matters.

aint this the current channel 24 theme song?
