(From Guestbook 35) John Hillis said:
KOTV's SpectraScan 6, which went in up at the tower in '77, was the first
color radar in town. It was memorable in that it did not have a visible sweep
arm, but people (or maybe it was station brass) wouldn't accept the radar
without the sweep hand, so Chan Allen arranged to get an ersatz sweep built
in. We must have left it up a lot, because I remember Fred, our kitten, would
sit patiently through the news waiting for Woody to come on, so he could
bat his paw at the radar sweep.

emphasizes that we might not have the Drillers much longer if attendance
doesn't pick up. This was before the new Driller Park was built (first known
as Sutton Stadium, I believe) |

And finally, some good news: there will be enough corn from Bixby to
keep Tulsans grinning from ear to ear all summer (that joke wasn't Rex'
fault...but it could have been!) |
And now this
message...
 |
"I'm Don Wasson with
our biggest sales party
of the year when we
liquidate to the bare walls
all Curtis Mathes color
TV's, home
entertainment centers,
and TV recorders."
"I'd rather give you the
money than pay the tax,
but you have to buy
now to beat the tax!" |
