Linda Williams 40 Years at FOX10
- Thread starter Derek
- Start date
Linda was also moonlighting (Daylighting) on KTAR 620 Talk back in the 90's as host/anchor of the Saturday Morning News. (6-9am)
Linda is the last from the KOOL-TV era.
Wasn't Ron Hoon at 10 for a time in the '80s before he left to 12 (left town in between), and then went back to 10? John Hook and Troy Hayden were hired at the tail end of 10's time as a CBS station, IIRC.
Well congrats to her.
Could be. I moved back to the Valley in early 1994, right when KTSP became KSAZ. Hoon was at 12 (so was Governor-wannabe), and I think John Hook had already started at 10, but Hayden came along a bit later.
Hayden started in the summer of 1994 (maybe a bit sooner), so he would have been around for the switch.
Agreed. Ms. Williams is a consummate professional and class act. Nice to see her get the recognition she deserves.
To this day, I don't understand why she never got a prime weekday gig. She was always good enough for Prime Time. Unless she's perfectly happy with weekends, and never wanted it.Agreed. Ms. Williams is a consummate professional and class act. Nice to see her get the recognition she deserves.
Very true Keith.
I believe so, other than John Hook and Troy Hayden who joined at the very end of CBS. Most of the longtimers have departed in the last few years: Dave Munsey, Rick D'Amico, Jude LaCava, Steve Krafft, Diane Ryan, and others.
I'm kind of surprised I haven't seen some of those old timers make guest appearances once they depart. Dave Munsey lives just down the block so I see him occasionally but I'd love to hear what Rick D'Amico has been doing. He was turning into the Crusty Old Man there at the end......just like me!
Rick is on my Next-door...he posts about restaurants and stores, seems like he's living a nice retiree life.
Dewey Hopper used to post all the time, too, but he hasn't in awhile. He was funny. ;-)
Dewey and I met on the indoor soccer court a few years....and he knocked me flat on my as....er, wallet. He was the same shape as a beer barrel and about as stout. I think that was before he moved up to Sacto.
I wonder if Rick ever got his misses to allow him to take her out of the harbor on his sailboat.
