What local and national news, sports and weather broadcasters did you grow up with?

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.
