This is the second part of the two part video podcast at WCIX-TV Miami on "TV Through The Tunnel of Time", Season 1 Episode 4.

Join me and Producer Jeff Lemlich (www.youtube.com/@Jeffers67), Director Pete McCoy, and Reporter Mark Tudino for the discussion and back-stories as to what it was like being at the station that went from a sleepy Independent station with a 10 O'Clock Newscast, to becoming the first Fox Affiliate in the country in the 1980s, to a full-blown CBS Owned & Operated station, then finally migrating from the Channel 6 to Channel 4 broadcast tower, improving coverage across the entire Miami/Ft. Lauderdale TV market.

Along with all those changes, the on-air talent changes to boot, the politics of employment, the escape, some planned, others "to pursue other interests", and the toll that some of the stories took on those working to create those newscasts, including the tragic 1996 ValuJet Flight 592 crash in the Everglades.

This episode also features some great bloopers culled through the years at WCIX-TV!

Some of the "on the air" people discussed include John Roberts FOX NEWS, aka J.D. Roberts, Barbara Sloan, Giselle Fernandez, Beverly Counts-Rodriguez, John Hambrick, Jim Dyer, R.J. Heim, Gail Anderson, and Ed Berliner.

Sit back and enjoy!
