Here's a portion of WAGA-TV's "Atlanta A.M." from May 22, 1973. Hosted by Paul Shields and Dave Michaels with guest Jimmy Dean. Video was in black and white when I received it. No copyright infringement intended.
May 22, 1973 was the day I turned ten years old. Life was good back then, if only the innocence of childhood lasted a little longer. Less than two years later, my father had a heart attack and the paramedics were unable to revive him. He had been sitting in his favorite recliner, in our living room (the only room with a tv) where we used to watch shows like this. Oh... the memories! Thanks for sharing this.
Interesting how they included a traffic report on that newscast. This was Atlanta. Considering this was the early 1970s, that display was way ahead of its time. There wasn't even a station in Texas that would do them yet (at that time). Who knew?
@@charlesmeadows6285 According to listings, it was Captain Kangaroo at 6:30 (on a one-day delay), followed by Atlanta A.M. and then the CBS Morning News.
