CBS-2 KGAN

[AnthonyMWeller]

Anyone else notice KGAN's ''Hello Iowa...'' jingles package is virtually identical to KWQC-NBC-6 in the Quad-Cities of a few years back? If I am not mistaken Russ Hamilton passed through both those places on his way to whatever saloon he frequents now.

I knew I recognized it. I just assumed it was an old jingle package from way back when KGAN actually could be considered a "news station". Now that you mention it, I feel used.

Channel 2 ran that "Hello Iowa" package centuries ago in the Dave Shay, Maggie Jensen, Ron Gonder days.

and they weren't the only ones. A similar jingle was used in Calgary, Canada on what was then CFAC channel 2 back in the early 80's.

Russ is working for a radio station group in shampain illannoy.
To the best of my knowledge, he never worked in the QC..

 

[Wall Cloud]

Hamilton was the GM of KWQC-TV in the QC prior to going to KGAN.

It's Russ Hamilton. He probably blacked out his time in the Quad Cities.
