I grew up with him as well. He and Bob Howell were staples on WSFA.
Rich Thomas went out in spectacular style though. Went on a coke bender and crashed a news van.
I’d moved away went he eventually got the axe but apparently it was the last of numerous incidents . Ole boy loved his weather, coke, and cock.
WSFA with Thomas, Howell, Sports with Phil Snow, and editorials from Bob Ingram was the GOAT.

I grew up in a town that loosely translated meant "whale's vagina". I was partial to the Channel 4 news team:

Jack McCall and June Taylor, Good Morning Arklamiss. There were people who wouldn't make a move until Jack gave his weather report. The rest of the show was Jack bitching about one thing or another while June sat there rolling her eyes. They weren't married but they were exactly like an old married couple. June finally retired and Jack ran off a succession of female cohosts until they brought June back.
And Lanny James "Sports Scope"!!

I alway watched Gene Ponti do the HS football preview when I was a kid. LA25A was the show I think.

quote:Same here. I remember Nash's regular newscasts in the 1960s. He used an erasable marker on his weather map instead of pre-stuck-on adhesive(?) numbers. Al Duckworth was a little ahead of Nash in that department, using analog dials to display the current conditions.
News: Alec Gifford with his slicked back hair.
Sports: The immortal Buddy Diliberto and Hap Glaudi...
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.

All the New Orleans stations, but WWL was and is still number 1 in my mama’s heart.

Nash Roberts for weather and the GOAT Jim Henderson for Sports. Now I follow the weather baws on the OT for weather.

Weather.
When we wanted to know what was going to happen with the weather we tuned in tO Nash Roberts. Period. From hurricanes on down.

Bill Elder was the GOAT if you lived in New Orleans from the 70’s til the late 90’s

GOAT hurricane predictor. Better than the computer models of today.
