Retired WSB-TV News Director/Anchor

[sagebasics]

Ray Moore, the former WSB-TV news director and anchor from the early 1950's into the 1980's, has died. He was 91.

He was at WAGA from about the late '60s onward; in fact, Channel 5
had two anchors named Moore, Chuck being the other.

He returned to co anchor the noon news at WSB for a time during 80s mostly with Lynn Harasin.

Forrest Sawyer was at WAGA in the early 80's before moving to ABC news.

Judy Woodruff co-anchored Ch. 5's noon news in the early '70s;
Deborah Norville was weekend anchor while attending the University
of Georgia in the late '70s. I also believe Robin Roberts was at Ch. 5.

But somebody bigger than any of them was at Ch. 2 in the mid-'60s:
Tom Brokaw. He left when Ch. 2 couldn't match what KNBC was willing
to pay him.

BTW, I was gone from Georgia by the '80s and didn't know that Ray Moore
did one last stint at Ch. 2 before retiring.

11 Alive's biggest claim to fame is probably Stone Phillips, who started there
in 1978. (Correction: second biggest claim to fame since an entertainment
personality who did a daytime show there in the '50s became a television icon.
His name: Dick Van Dyke.)

we should look over former Atlanta sportscasters. There were a few names that went on to networks form TV stations. Any one want to and try remembering one.
