WHBQ-TV Eyewitness News Promo circa 1978

Classic local promo from WHBQ-TV featuring Ed Craig, Fran Fawcett, Byron Day, John Glaze and Charlie B. Watson

What is missed when Ed Craig and Charlie B. Watson used to talk about fixing beans and weenies. That was a time when anchors stayed at TV stations for decades and weren't station hopping.

The voice on the "WHBQ-TV, Memphis" ID's is Carter Davis.

[@krisstarring]

Yep, and his voice was used right up until they were sold to Fox in 1995.

Was that a younger Byron Day at 0:25 ?

[@Square1986]

Yes, this is the younger Byron Day.

WHBQ-TV now own by FOX and ABC over now to WPTY (now WATN-TV)

I've wondered the same thing. I grew up listening to that voice!

Someone had a clip of a WHBQ newscast with Dave Brown on it, but they took it down :(

I've always wondered - who was the voice of WHBQ? I know he was there up until the early 90s, at least - and maybe up to the affiliation switch.

@shaunfossett Thank you :D
