Flickr Gold: WSAZ photos - late 70s, early 80s

Post by Hoosier Daddy »

I stumbled across these 127 photos of WSAZ-TV in the late 70s and early 80s. All apparently taken by a guy named Tim Miller. Don't know if he was a WSAZ employee or was just there on a photography assignment. Lots of great "begind the scenes" photos and faces. Lots of memories here:

This guy's quite a photographer. Check out the early newspaper ads:

This is perhaps one of the coolest behind-the-scenes set of photographs I have ever seen.

Is that Joe Johns the one on CNN? Kinda looks like him, but probably not. Too many years difference?

Former WSAZ newsheads Joe Johns and Sean Callebs are both on CNN now.
WKEE's Tori Tolley (Morning drive news chick in the 70s) was a former CNN reporter/anchor.
