Hey, were's the monitor for her keyboard? Who did her hair, the NASA wind tunnel? And I miss hearing "Patjohn" every 8 seconds on a channel 6 newscast.
Oh mercy. That picture is too funny.
Pat looks like she got mugged on her way to work that day.
Did you catch Action News with NewsStar Six at the end of that piece? It looks like that "heavily armed recreational vehicle" from the movie Stripes.
Also, that whole things looks so much like an Anchorman out-take.
to think, that's the same truck they still have, circa 1986.
Sounded like Dave Webber doing the voiceovers at the end. Was that Byron Wood at the anchor desk w/ Pat? It also looked like someone stole the cockpit window from the Millenium Falcon and mounted it above the anchor desk. Hopefully this will be on Youtube for a while. A while back, Ted Brockman's blog pointed out an old KETV promo from the late 70s on youtube and it along with other KETV videos (including Suzanne Deyo's disappearing act) were quickly removed for copywright infringement. Talk about uptight. So many other TV stations vintage promos/videos are on YouTube, but rarely anything for market 75.
