WFSB Hartford, CT | Facebook Memories | 60th Anniversary (2017) | D. House, D. D’Ascenzo, B. DePrest

On a Facebook Live feed to the WFSB – Channel 3 Eyewitness News public Facebook page at approximately 4:00 p.m. on Thursday, September 14, 2017, evening news anchors Denise D’Ascenzo and Dennis House casually reminisce about the station’s sixty-year history. They invite chief meteorologist Bruce DePrest to join them for most of the conversation. Weatherman Mark Dixon makes a brief cameo appearance. Although the station’s first broadcast was on September 23, 1957, the Meredith Corporation station is hosting a public 60th anniversary celebration tonight at the Connecticut Science Center in downtown Harford. Ms. D’Ascenzo previews archival videos that will be included in live reports she and Scot Haney will make from the party during the 5:00, 5:30, and 6:00 p.m. newscasts and will feature the inaugural broadcast, bloopers, children’s host Ranger Andy, local broadcasting icon Bob Steele, weatherman Charlie Bagley, and anchor Jim Vicevich. They frame 1957 with mentions of President Eisenhower, singer Elvis Presley, the launch of the satellite Sputnik by the Soviet Union at the dawn of the Space Race with the United States, and that Richard M. Nixon, a future President, was Vice President at that time. They recall how television technology has changed over the years with advancement from film to video tape to digital files, the transition from black and white to color broadcasting, and the capabilities added by satellite connections and the internet. There are also remarks about changing fashions and car designs. This YouTube video concludes with comments that viewers posted to Mr. House’s public Facebook page in response to his invitation to look at old station logos that he had uploaded there. With their approximate years of service at Channel 3 in parentheses, here is a list of the people who are mentioned during this video.

The stations operated in tandem until the Travelers sold them to different buyers in 1974. (Channel 3’s call letters changed to WFSB when that occurred.) Hired in 1936, Bob Steele was the daily morning host on WTIC Radio from 1943 to 1991. From 1957 to 1974, he also appeared on Channel 3, primarily as the host of “Close-up on Sports” from 1957 to 1966. In 1955, the Travelers also founded the Travelers Weather Service whose meteorologists reported the weather on WTIC Radio and Channel 3. After the Travelers sold the WTIC stations in 1974, the Travelers Weather Service meteorologists continued to appear on WFSB and WTIC as well as other area radio stations until it was disbanded in 1984. Mr. Kaderli and Mr. DePrest, both of whom were hired after the 1974 sale, were always WFSB employees, but all of the other meteorologists listed here worked for the Travelers Weather Service prior to the 1984 dissolution. Therefore, their parenthetical and approximate dates of service refer to their years at both Channel 3 and the Travelers Weather Service.] THEME MUSIC SOURCES FROM YOUTUBE • VintageTelevision “TV Station Anniversary Specials,”    • TV Station Anniversary Specials   • eyeontv “Klein& WFSB The Best Things in Life are 3 Promos Jan 1979,”    • Klein& WFSB The Best Things in Life are 3 ...   • Patrick Josh Valisno “WFSB Channel 3 ‘The Land of the 3’ Image Promo (1980-1981 season),”    • Видео   “WFSB ‘The One and Only TV3’ Image Promo (1984),”    • Видео   • MHTV “WFSB You and Channel 3, We’ve Got the Touch promo – Fall 1984,”    • Видео
