The weather became theatrics..... man the 60's were trippy, could you imagine a puppet being a major player on the set? lmao

The greatest news set ever built.

@Hanssen69 There was another station that had a puppet on their newscast was WITI-6 in Milwaukee. Albert The Alley Cat was on their newscasts from 1965 to '85.
