ChannelTwoNews Posted February 25, 2015 Share Posted February 25, 2015 (edited) Just sorting through some old tapes that I've acquired and so far have found one with the "oldest" material I presently have, April 1978. At the end of this tape was a segment of a weekend "Big 2 News" report, and this man was the anchor. No graphics popped up with his name and he wasn't referred to by name when Ted Shaw started his weather segment (of course, at the end of the tape). Anyone know who he is?

Is the video already posted on YouTube? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Specwriter Posted February 25, 2015 Share Posted February 25, 2015 No clue but gotta love the hair (looks like 3 cans of Final Net were used) and the Trendline telephone hanging just below the monitor to get "late breaking news" from the "reporter on the scene."

Fringe Posted February 26, 2015 Share Posted February 26, 2015 I'm pretty sure it was Dominique Sachse before her sex change operation. 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Specwriter Posted March 2, 2015 Share Posted March 2, 2015 I remember the name Alan Parcel but I cannot say if that is the person in the screen shot. I was in high school then and didn't see much local news. I was either studying (not enough it would seem), hanging out with friends at Greenspoint Mall (before you needed a flack jacket for that), or earning a romping $2.10/hr at the Orange Julius to feed my 8-track habit.

ChannelTwoNews Posted March 4, 2015 Author Share Posted March 4, 2015 I found a website called kprc history.Facebook. lots of old pictures on it. The only picture that looks like the man has the name Alan parcel.I don't remember him but so many people have been on the news at channel 2. That's a tip that paid off. I forgot I'd already liked them on Facebook, but within a really short time they were able to determine it was an anchor named Don Shelby. I knew he was one of the long-timers in Minneapolis but never knew he worked down here. I'll get around to uploading the clip at some point in the future.
