Growing up in Pittsburgh, a day was not complete without Bill Burns sharing the news of the day. KDKA was always the choice for all of the news of the day! Over the years, they seemed like family. Miss those times!!
And then he moved on to doing the NFL on CBS....as did Ray Scott, come to think of it. Scott was also play by play for the Packers during the Lombardi Era.

I remember Bill Currie (4:11). I believe he was from Alabama. He looked something like Milo Hamilton, who replaced Bob Prince as Pirates announcer starting in 1976. At 5:21, Al Julius (whom I well remember), was on another Pittsburgh station before KDKA-TV, namely KQV-AM.
I have to ask . . . watching old news clips with Bill Burns, does anyone notice a bit of SCTV News anchor Floyd Robertson (Joe Flaherty) in him? I know Flaherty grew up in Pittsburgh and certainly had to have known of Burns . . . and I speak of the times Floyd was reading the news, not his constant on-air bickering with Earl Camembert (Eugene Levy), now . . .
Ray Petelin was on 'TAE weather but went freelance and is now on KD and also does Hometown Highschool! Yes as someone else mentioned Jeff Verszela was let go, but now does the weather on 'TAE‼️ Funny that‼️😄😄😄😏😏😉
It was originally known as WDTV (which stood for Dumont TV). Wasn't it also on channel 3? WDTV is now in Bridgeport, West Virginia, about 20 miles from me and is on channel 5. Didn't Vic Miles (1:39) go to WCBS-TV in later years? At 2:12, the voice-over was done by George Eisenhauer, whom I well remember as a kid (I'm now 57).
@@TheBrooklynbodine Yes it was WDTV, which was first broadcast (2/1/1955) as KDKA, exactly 56 years before my wife was medically kidnapped by KDKA's sponsor (Allegheny General Hospital), on 2/1/2011...
@@matthewfinlay5583 - I seem to remember at the early going of the "Patti & Daddy" pairing, "SCTV" apparently lampooning same in an "SCTV News" sketch where Earl Camembert (Eugene Levy) had his son Earl Jr. (Donald Cowper, nephew of John Candy) filling in for Floyd Robertson (Joe Flaherty, R.I.P.) while the latter was a bit delayed in arriving at the set. The historian in me thought that a cheap shot, wonder what other Pittsburghers who originally saw that sketch "at the time" (1977-78) thought . . .
I liked Bob Kudzma. Good weatherman. Now I don't recognize hardly anybody anymore. I remember they hired a guy named CS Keys late 90's. Looked to be a rising star on the station, maybe the replacement for Kudzma - he used to say "pause for the cause". Then it came out he had abused his wife or girlfriend or something and immediately KDKA cut ties. It was like you blinked and he was gone. He got hired in Philly for a bit and then the station there I guess found out and got rid of him. Now he is in San Diego and been there for many years and seemingly doing well.
Grew up in Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania from 1983 through 2000 and literally grew up with KDKA in the late ⏰ 1980s

Grew up in Pittsburgh. Lived there 1954 - 1974. This brings back memories.
Thanks for the memories! 👍
Love all of you guys. Grew up with you. All like family
At 2:23 what did viewers affectionally call Burns & Burns???
Patty and Daddy
@@markbell3641 Thats it!! I couldnt remember
Patti and her Daddy!
At 1:17 Paul Moyer would move to KNBC and KABC TV in Los Angeles
Young Patty Burns in 1974 looked really young and in her prime in the mid seventies
Love it.
Paul Moyer before he went to LA! Wow!
What Memories!!
I saw a person named Paul Moyer. He worked for LA before he left KNBC in 2009.
Moyer spent some time at KABC as well.
Funny they left off Jeff Versyla.I don't know what happened between him and the station but it must have been ugly.
I don't know either, but I do know that it wasn't an amicable parting.
I'm surprised they didn't mention Dick Stockton, who was there from 1967-71.
And then he moved on to doing the NFL on CBS....as did Ray Scott, come to think of it. Scott was also play by play for the Packers during the Lombardi Era.
At 1:31, I remember "Daybreak." I was just a little snip of a thing (am 57 now), but remember it from when I was 3 or 4.
Don Cannon (3:34) was on rival WTAE before going to KDKA.
And Paul Long and Joe DeNardo went the other way, from KDKA to WTAE.
I remember Jim Woods , who broadcasted play by play of the Pirates games along with Bob Prince !!!!

My senior year in high school, Sweet Old Bill was the speaker at our band banquet. And yes, he was hysterical.
Sounds about like him. He's undoubtedly deceased by now. Would you know the approximate (if not exact) years of his birth and death?
They skipped Jeff Verzsyla 😔
Alexander Domenick And Joe DeNardo.
Jeff Verzsyla was fired. I don't think they liked him.
@@rozchristopherson648 Yeah because he wss/ is.a conservative.
How could uou have left out Dick Stockton and his sports editorials?
This video is now outdated by 5 years and the Covid-19 pandemic 😷 occurred since March 2020 and the January 6th, 2021 riots at the Capitol.
2:22 what would people call them?
@wa3ypx asked the same question. Someone else replied “Patty & Daddy”
Georg Eisenhauer, whom I mentioned last night (2:12) died at age 80 on April 10, 2007.
838 viewers including wallieb26 good work CBS 2 KDKA 70 years.

What about John Cigna
Cigna was mainly radio. I remember Cigna and Fred Honsberger were a great team.
Look at the hair on Ralph upper left corner 3:02!
The first TV broadcast (with KDKA call letters) was 2/01/1955...WHY IS THIS DATE NOT MENTIONED???

@@TheBrooklynbodine The point is that the first TV broadcast (as KDKA) was 2/01/1955, and this information has been removed from the Internet.

I remember Bob Kudzma well! He and Pat Sajak (at least at one time) resembled each other.
