Re: [IRCA] Gary Owens, radio and 'Laugh-In' announcer, dies at 80

Stan Chambers started with KTLA in 1947. KTLA did a couple specials on his life. I recorded both. I first watched the old crew on Stan Chambers, Larry McCormick, and Hal Fishman (anchor) back in the 70s, when Bob and I went to LA. We interviewed a lot of old celebrities. Then 1985 when I got my big dish, KTLA ran a feed of their 10 PM News nightly. Then in 1986 we got the first Super Station package which included KTLA. I still have the Super Station pack on Dish today. A new crew now, but the news dept is named after Hal Fishman who died of cancer in 2007. He was there for 30+ years.  Also one of the KTLA buildings is also named after Stan Chambers. I miss their news a lot. I have a lot on tape and DVD too.

She passed away the other day of lung cancer, but never smoked. Too many have died. TV icon from the first days of KTLA (1947)-5 Los Angeles died the other day too.
