Did anyone see "The General" on KHON last night, his mind is still sharp about the old days and he made comments about Barry Bonds...

Check out a wacky clip from KITV in 1989, featuring Tina Shelton, Dick Allgire, Dan Cooke and Scott Swan here.

(In case that doesn't work, type in: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-XrS8NFi8uA)

Anyone else have any good classic Hawaii TV clips?

Re: Newscasters from long ago

Hey Doctah thanks for posting that clip yes I have tons of old clips over the years, message or email me. I thought what was unique about the clip you showed is at one time 4 people at the anchor desk, you dont see that much anymore.

Remember Malia Mattoch from Channel 2? She may be about to resurface in a different medium. If it happens, you heard it hear first . . .

Re: Newscasters from long ago

Here's something i didn't know: according to this, Emme Tomimbang co-anchored KITV's 10 p.m. newscast with Tim Tindall between 1985 and 1987. (Before that, Tindall and Lynne Waters were the anchors). I take it, then, that Tina Shelton replaced Tomimbang at 10. (Was she already anchoring at 6?) Tindall left soon after, because by the end of 1987, Tina Shelton was KITV's solo anchor. She would continue to anchor solo for 2 years, before being joined at the desk by Dick Allgire.

Re: Newscasters from long ago

The 10pm newscast was Tindall, Emme and Russ Shimooka with "Big Board Sports" as they called it then. Paul Udell was news director at the time, replacing Don Rockwell I believe. Rockwell later went on to direct news at KGMB. Lynne Waters was still co-anchoring the 5pm and 6pm news at this time as well as doing news reporting, she was amongst the few anchors in my opinion that did both jobs and she liked to do both. Lynne left KITV in 1985, Tina Shelton then replaced Lynne and did the 5pm and 6pm news with Tim Tindall.

I read that article and was surprised Tim would say that as he and Emme had worked together for 3 years at least already, though she did reporting and features and maybe he didnt think she could do hard news stories or whatever. He could have also been joking because sometimes he would say things with a straight face, very stoic. But she did just fine. But I think her heart was and has always been doing the special features and entertainment material as she still does that today.

I know alot of this information as Lynne and Emme are friends of mine, I hear from Lynne often and am doing some work for her now.
