You are right, I think just you and me can remember back that far, only sometimes I can't remember where I put my glasses or my dinner plate or even my wine glass. That is really BAD!!!!

I remember as a young girl first really becoming aware of the news on TV because of a certain handsome young man with brown hair who became a newscaster on Channel 4, Tom Brokaw. Well, I sort of noticed the news.

I'm not going to name names, but I've heard certain people here bought grapes from George Hansen.

Yes, I moved from Riverside ca to Oklahoma and turned on the ABC station. Same hair, same clothes, same accent. I'm pretty sure the weather guy is from California or close from some of the unscripted words but its like I never left socal. Aside from the truely reginal kind of news, the same collection of stories.

The other stations, I will note, are unmistakably Oklahoma.
