Still one of the best small market shops & sets ive ever seen in person. They actually had a dedication plaque outside of the set mentioning that Devlin Design Group designed it. Visited in 2002 & 03. Have a reel of their graphics package and promos from back then and will have to upload it someday.
Nice to see a short appearance of Dale Jones in this video. This must have been one of his last weathercasts for KXII... he left around this timeframe.
Yeah, it’s definitely weird seeing him on the Matt Brown-era set. Dale was a class act though, I saw him in Kroger when I was a little kid and recognized him, and he gave me a quarter for a Coke lol
@@sherryhannah498 Yes, I knew that he left KXII for KBMT in 1996. Later on around 2004, KXII did a "Where are they now?" segment and caught up with some of their former on-air personalities. They interviewed Dale Jones. He mentioned being in Beaumont for a few years after KXII, and that he had left the TV business entirely and moved to Utah to focus on being active with the Latter Day Saints church.
@sherryhannah498 I remember him from KBMT. It was that period they had John Hambrick and Andrea Zinga as the main anchors. They've had a few people go from that station to Utah to work for the LDS church. Shawn Murdock comes to mind. I think Tracy Kennick actually came from there... did some time at KSL which is Bonneville/LDS owned
