That's john Wilson who lives in the Tampa bay area now and was a former anchor at both wtsp tv and wtvt tv in Tampa Florida

[@davanmani556]

The only one I know for certain is Jim Thacker in sports and Clyde McLean for weather. The two for news I’m not sure. Maybe, Janet England and Mike McKay?

[@faststop4]

The male anchor is John Wilson

[@byrd56]

Thacker was quite a fixture beyond the Charlotte area back then. Regionally-syndicated ACC basketball, plus regional NFL football and PGA golf, including the Masters, on CBS.

@@byrd56 now that wb3tv doesn't carry the acc sports anymore now it's on ESPN family of networks.

[@byrd56]

Which gives you one among many ideas,@@facebook51ify, of how far college basketball has come on TV in nearly half a century.

Right on Janet England. This is from July 19, 1979 based on the British Open result.
