    Future Dodgers announcer Ross Porter, backed up by Bryant Gumbel, we’re on KNBC in the early 70s. They were on a news team with Tom Brokaw, Tom Snyder and Kelly Lange, who all went national.

    If you went to a lot of games, you still wouldn't recognize him. He has been seriously criticized for never going to games. The hot rumor always was that he has never been to Angel Stadium and doesn't even know where Anaheim is.
    Nahan and Hill were always there.

    Roggin went to Anaheim Stadium at least once. Or tried to. I saw him on the side on the road with a flat tire near the stadium as I was headed to an Angels game in the early 80s.

    And Nahan was there, but rarely seen once the dinner buffet closed.

    We were a Channel 4 family, but there were so many on-air people at several stations who were good in the late 1970s, 1980s and into the 1990s.

    Jerry Dunphy at KABC, then later KCAL -- "From the desert to the sea to all of Southern California, a good evening."

    Hal Fishman at KTLA, co-anchoring with Jann Carl, with Stan Chambers in the field.

    Jim Lampley was at KCBS and co-anchored with his wife, Bree Walker.

    The weather folks. Dr. George at KABC, Fritz Coleman, Dallas Raines

    The NBC and ABC stations in my market dropped sports, so the only one left standing is the CBS affiliate, which has two anchors. (The FOX affiliate basically just shares the staff from the NBC affiliate so nothing to see there.)

    Jerry Dunphy was the color analyst on the Packers broadcast with Ray Scott in 1956. I know no one care but I love to impart useless information.

    He was one of KABC's news anchors during my formative years.
