Little bit of a nostalgia thread. For me it was:

Local:

News: Alec Gifford with his slicked back hair.

Sports: The immortal Buddy Diliberto and Hap Glaudi. I remember reading that when the Saints had training camp at (I think) Southeastern that Buddy would sleep in and do his segments and interviews wearing a suit jacket and tie and pajama bottoms and they would shoot him from the chest up.

Weather: Al Duckworth. I would say Nash Roberts, but I don't know if I'm remembering his regular newscasts or when they'd bring him back for hurricanes.


National:

News: Walter Cronkite. A legend.

Sports: The one and only Howard Cossel.

Weather: I don't really remember them having national weathermen before Al Roker.
