WOW

I think maybe two of all those people are still in TV news. There was a quick shot of former St. Louis Football Cardinal QB Tim Van Galder, who did sports after his short career. I once put him in the hospital for knee surgery during a bull rush in a very competative flag football league. He is a very nice, though. Julius Hunter, the black anchor now works for St. Louis Univ, Steve Schiff the other anchor left and was in Florida for a while. Dennis Riggs runs a cable channel. They were one of the first stations to move to ENG video from 16mm film back in the day. Jane Skinner of Fox fame used to work there, but much later.

Not Kelly in that 'fro

There's no mention of St. Louis in Wright's official Fox News bio. 

When you put the clowns in charge, don't be surprised when a circus breaks out.

I woudn't mention it

I woudn't mention it either if I was sporting that 'fro.  LOL!  Seriously, that man looked just like K. Wright.

I just threw up a little in my mouth.  Just kidding I got kick out it, kind of funny .

guy with the fro

The guy with the fro is Julius Hunter. He started at KSD TV, now KSDK and moved to KMOX TV (Now KMOV). He was a legendary anchor in St. Louis and an author of books on local history. He is now a VP in charge of something at St. Louis University.

Beware of the big Marshmellow dude.  I think he's coming to attack Newsbusters.

 

All I can say is, what we all thinking when we had

that hair? Those clothes? I love all the sweaters w/ the button down oxfords, and the tight perms. I think my hair is still permanently damaged from all of the ones I had. LOL.

This is the staion that my 88 yr. old mother and many, many of her generation watch much of the time.  She is a die hard Roosevelt democrat who became highly offended when I suggested that Obama was a socialist and a red-diaper baby.  Her age group generally does not like the Fox group of stations very much.
