"I replaced Greg Cook in July of 1969 when he went to NBC. These people--and a few others--were all there when i signed on
. Many were also in sales and we did double duty on KTAR Radio as well. (Radio also had a statewide network it fed.) Frank Pedde
 did the 6pm weather live (he was in sales all day) and then taped it at 6:30 for 10pm replay. The inevitable happened when one night
 he reported all was well and a huge storm was causing serious flooding all over the Valley. Good days, and old days -- but maybe not "the good old days"?"

 

Roger Ball tells us, "This was my first news unit at Channel 12. I got it in July of 1969 when I replaced Greg Cooke who went to the network. It had a cooler for ice and beverages, two folding chairs, and a GIGANTIC Auricon camera setup weighing a lot. Loved it until driving up Central one morning to an armed robbery of a jewelry store at Park Central when the radiator hose blew and burned my let (engine up front, close to driver). Yes, those are blue lights on top that did flash. Long story about how new units had them in those days."
