Vintage Phoenix News Clips on YouTube

Not a Phoenix clip, but here's a young Cameron Harper (formerly of KTVK and KNXV) anchoring the news in Cleveland back in 1977:

Speaking of local newspeople before they came to Phoenix:

Here's one of Linda Alvarez while she was in Chicago at WMAQ-TV.  In 1974, she co-hosted a program on Saturday evenings called Sorting It Out.  The segment she introduced in this YouTube clip was about the WMAQ transmitter and it was easy to tell how green she was.

BTW, her replacement on that show was Shelly Long, later of Cheers.

Pretty high-tech stuff!  

I loved the computer at the beginning -- looked like a cousin of R2-D2's.  But the guy introing Linda with the plaid pants was the best!

And here's a quick glimpse of Habib on WKYC in Cleveland in the early 1990s, before she joined KTVK:

Scary.  

Say that again!  What a SKANK!

Also appears that the chronic bleach jobs might have finally killed off the rest of Liz's brain cells. 

If 3-TV could just forgive and forget, she might very well wrest that "Valley Trailer Park Trash Queen" title away from 15's Katie Raml !!!

While I'll joke about Katie Raml, I don't she's anywhere as bad as that video of Liz Habib. Just watching the metamorphous from WKYC to KTVK to KCOP is scary.

Hmmm.  From Wikipedia's definition of Skank:  "Skank is slang and a pejorative term used in English to describe a certain type of female. [1][2] The term "skank" differs from that of "slut" in that whereas the latter implies only sexual promiscuity; the former also implies poor taste, personally degrading behaviour and low socioeconomic class. Also used as slang for lower class female that is dirty or not presenting herself well. Other skank behaviors can include being obsessed with celebrity lifestyle and emulating it."

Yep, you're right Brian.  Sure seems to fit the morphed Liz Habib in that video.   

Katie Raml may look like she's made up for Halloween most nights and has her ethics problems, but she isn't close to being in the same cesspool (aka L.A.) that Liz has evidently slipped down into.  Yuck!
