Newscasters from long ago

Re: Newscasters from long ago

Another blast from the past. John Noland, former KHON sports anchor. He's been doing mostly radio work as of late. In a couple of weeks, he'll be starting a new sports talk show in the afternoons on KUMU.

Noland has also been working on various Oceanic Cable Sports presentations & programs, and he and Bob Hogue have been the TV broadcast team for HPU sports since 2000.

Speaking of Oceanic Cable they also have two Ex-KGMB employees in sportscasters Dave Vinton and Russ Shimooka. Russ worked at KITV during the early 80's, left for Miami I think and then returned to Hawaii and was lead anchor at KGMB during the late 90's.

if you meant currently married newscaster couples, sharie and dave have been divorced since late 2003. a quick look at court records shows the proceedings were relatively lightning-quick--less than than two months from complaint filing (by sharie) and divorce decree. *shrug*

I agree with you Janet is still very cute and hasn't aged in the 15 or so years it's been since she did the news locally. I was just watching some of her newscasts a couple weeks ago.

Allright Cedric! He's got to be one of the funniest people I've ever met. You'd never guess if you remember his trademark deadpan delivery circa KITV. Kept me in stitches when I had the honor of warming the seat at the old S-B court desk.
