Wow! I'm sitting up here in Detroit, Mi. and NEVER dreamed this would come across my screen! I was a 2nd grader and won a spot on the Bungles show

I grew up in Va Bch in the 70s. The anchor team shown at the 3:00 mark and again at 3:19 are the ones I remember. I believe the weatherman's name was Jim Fowlkes (?) & he was an absolute celebrity lol! I can't remember the anchor's name but my parents couldn't get enough of him & Jim. I got to spend the day in the newsroom when I was a sr. in high school (was going on to school for journalism). I remember a guy showing me how he was crafting the special effects for a new station logo that was coming soon - a tiny pinlight behind the logo that when shot by the camera would create an animated gleam. Fancy stuff at the time LOL!!!!
