Don't touch my Tuts...

We tape editors always tried to cut visually intersting "teases" for the open of the 6 O'Clock news...but this one somehow got by the producer, with hilarious results. Listen to the camera guys laughing in the background...

they had a whole team there.........looked like a lotta fun.

There were egos and backstabbing as with any other TV station. But us tech types were making slave wages, so we compensated by having as much fun as possible. Our managers were tolerant for the most part...besides, we had something like a 40 share (over 1/3 of the viewers) watching the 6pm 'cast. These days you couldn't get a 40 if you set yourself on fire.

When was this taped?? When the hell did Jeff Maynor work at Ch. 5? I know him from Ch. 8 (see my many YouTube Ch. 8 posts with Jeff), and now he's on 3...but I never knew he was on Ch. 5 too!!!

DON'T TOUCH MY TUTS

Sounds like WTKR in Norfolk. They've gone through at least 10 guys in the last 30 years or so and have given up on weekday sports now. (Compare to WAVY having Bruce Rader on sports for the last 30 years or WVEC having Scott Cash since '86)

Dorothy Fuldheim suffered a debilitating stroke in July of 1984. She was unable to return to television ever again. She died at The Margaret Wagner House, in Cleveland Heights, Ohio in March of 1989.

You want a revolving door, how about the sports desk post-Nev Chandler.

In 13 years since Nev's passing, they must have had about 7-8 people going in and out as Sports Director.

Also, why break up Ted Henry and Lee Jordan? for 11 years they have been solid and drew good ratings. Why screw that up?

The whole place was a revolving door...I remember the GM at the time saying, in so many words, "Whaddya want for these wages?" It was a great place to learn, but not as intent on keeping good people -- strange for a flagship station in a top-20 market. Sadly they predicted the trend that would follow.
