Re: Retro:Cleveland Friday, December 18, 1965

Since you put the host with the game show, I might
add that Jack Linkletter was host of "The Rebus Game."
 
Re: Retro:Cleveland Friday, December 18, 1965

Thanks..

The way the Plain Dealer did their TV listings was a fairly small grid style-With Highlights on the opposite side of the page..Not much room for Game Show Hosts..Also just corrected the Date..June 18..

Was the Tom Snyder who did news on Channel 3 "THE" Tom Snyder?

...indeed, he was. Tom had arrived at KYW-TV just a few months before the whole operation moved back to Philadelphia (after a gig with KTLA/5 Los Angeles for a year or so before Gene Autry bought that station); Tom moved with KYW to Philly and was one of their main anchormen for the next five years, after which he moved back to Los Angeles to anchor for KNBC/4)...
 
Tom Snyder, Dick Goddard and Mike Douglas were all under contract to Westinghouse so they had to leave Cleveland for Philly..Other Channel 3 personnel such as Linn Sheldon (Kids Host Barnaby) and announcers Tom Haley and Jay Miltner either had been with KYW since their WNBK days or in Sheldon's case..had already worked at WEWS and WJW..With his large following as Barnaby, he wasnt going anywhere..Goddard, after several months in Philadelphia, returned to Cleveland on March 28, 1966 at WJW-TV 8 as Chief Meterologist, where he still is today..

That's possible, though I dont remember Crim's name being mentioned when discussing Channel 3 Cleveland History, or in either the 1983 or 1998 WKYC Channel 3 History specials..

I read somewhere that Al Primo was the news director at KYW in its last months in Cleveland (having worked before that at KDKA in Pittsburgh) prior to the switcheroo to Philly, where the Eyewitness News format as we began to know it really took shape.

I also seem to recall that Bill Jorgensen left Channel 3 for WEWS just before the former station switched owners and calls.

Conversely, just as Sheldon, Haley and Miltner (as well as Jim Graner and Bud Dancy) all stayed at Channel 3 at the point it became WKYC, over in Philadelphia Vince Leonard, who since 1958 had anchored the news at what until June 18 was NBC-owned WRCV-TV, remained at that station when Westinghouse returned on the 19th and applied the KYW-TV calls there. He remained a part of that station's EWN until 1980 when he moved to Phoenix where he closed out his long career. Another personality who remained at Philly's Channel 3 at the point of transition from WRCV to KYW was Marciarose Shestack; she would co-anchor one of the EWN 'casts with Snyder. But of course, in at least one case Philly's loss in the early morning hours of June 19 was Cleveland's gain, with WKYC adding former WRCV weatherman Wally Kinnan to its roster; apparently, he was under contract to NBC.
