- Here's the last few minutes of a rebroadcast of the 11:00pm edition of NewsCenter 7 on WHIO Channel 7 in Dayton, OH, followed by a commercial break and some PSA's. If the tape had not ended we probably would have seen a station sign-off too) The anchors are Ken Jefferson and Dick Bieser.
This recording comes in as the weather report by Gil Whitney is underway (with the mechanized barometer board looking a bit like the "Bozoputer"), then as he finishes, the anchors say a few words about the snow before the ending film (of various snow-related outdoor scenes) and credits come in: (to the accompaniment of a musical piece from the original Star Wars soundtrack, entitled "The Princess Appears").

Gil Whitney was an awesome meteorologist, he saved lives in our area April 1974 giving amazing heads up for gigantic tornado coming through (killed around 30+ people), then tackled the Blizzard of '78! We in the Miami Valley Ohio area will always remember his quick thinking warnings and his knowledge. R.I.P. Gil
Channel 7 still the best in our area. WHIO.
Gil was also a volunteer Fire Fighter and EMT. He was part of my class @ Precious Blood center.
Gil was a great man 😊
That brought back so much memories ....I do miss my friend Gil Whitney....
This brings back memories of my years in the Dayton area. I was going to Wright State at the time.
RIP, Gil Whitney. Gone but never forgotten.
I made alot of money shoveling snow to buy a blower and made more money. Winters of 77 and 78 were record snow falls.
I believe the weatherman is Gil Whitney. He came to our school (Arcanum, OH) for Career Day when I was in 8th grade, so 1981-82. He later got cancer and passed away when I was in high school on the same day as the first snowfall of the season. I cried when I heard.
Yep, for those not familiar with Dayton, OH - that was Gil Whitney, the pioneer of weather bulletins. He was one of the first meteorologists to ever break into local programming to alert viewers of severe weather - April 3-4, 1974 Outbreak and the infamous Xenia tornado. He saved MANY lives by alerting people on the air and providing radar data.
@@millenniumman75 if I recall, he predicted the tornado based on the radar hook echo which was a new concept at the time. I also seem to remember him using pointers made by local elementary schools. He's a legend!
I knew Gil. He was a great guy.
Way too young at just age 42 (from Hodgkin's lymphoma).
RIP Gil Whitney who did the weather, he passed away way too soon.
Ryan Zwolinski Ken Jefferson has passed also in 2018. Both great men who left a lasting impression in the Miami Valley.
3:32.........whenever I see a Boxtop Ford Fairmont or Mercury Zephyr, I will always be reminded of my grandmother. She drove a red 1980 ZBT just like this green '78 back in the day. It was a taxi in terms of equipment levels, but that 200-CID (3.3-liter) straight six really had some serious balls. RIP, Nana.
I remember those days. Love these gems of old tv, takes me back.
I was snowbound at my best friends house, Matt K. at the time.
one of the best times of my life. Outside Urbana, nothing to do but just be kids with a BUNCH of snow & Kubota tractors!
I wish I was 13 again.
BLESS EVERYONE WHO READS THIS.
This was just a few days after the blizzard of 78. I remember watching Whitneys broadcast the night before the blizzard. He came on in a special weather announcement around 9 PM and told everyone that the baromoter just dropped a crazy amount and this blizzard is going to be a monster.
I was kid living in Xenia when Gil Whitney told us all to take cover now! Our sirens never went off I saw the tornados ,I say plural because it looked like small funnels were spinning up around a huge funnel. It was a horrifying sight. He was a well liked weather forecaster here in Xenia.
I lived on the same street as Gil Whitney during the Blizzard of 1978, never met him though! Saw him on TV a lot as a kid!
I hate how this ends with a crying child ... I wonder where they are today...
1978 blizzard
In Cincinnati my 2 brothers built 2 gigantic igloos on our yard getting snow from the neighbors. 1 covered 80% of our front yard.

1978 Was The Year That My Dad Was Born
The spaceship set.
haha - I was going to say "Logan's Run"
Winter of 78. 72 CJ-5, couple other Jeep’s and some pick ups out playing. Good fun.
We have come from far❤️
I was a newsman for WONE and WTUE then. I slept through the whole storm (I still lived with my parents and my father decided there was no reason to disturb me. I didn't have to work that day. When I woke up, it was around 2 pm. I asked Dad why he didn't wake me up. He said, "Go look out your window". I did...HOLY CRAP! Snow was everywhere. We couldn't even get out our front door until I dug us out. Later, I went into work on Saturday. The WONE parking lot was still snowed over. Well, I did the only thing I COULD do. Backed the car up perpendicularly across street, and went "Blues Brothers" style at ramming speed into the snow drift, skidding sideways into the parking lot. I was safe.
TUE, Dayton's rock station. Man, I initiated my rock n roll ears with that station. Bought the homegrown lp's and had a couple of WTUE T-shirts. Been in Missouri since '82. I worked briefly at WING. Played softball with the WING Nutty Nine team, Terry Dorsey, John King. Nancy Cartwright was on staff (Bart Simpson). Those were the greatest of times.
@@bigshowradio_550 It was a lot of fun back then, that's for sure.
@@kevinfodor3154 I worked at WING. I did in-house printing. Joe Demma was a good friend of mine. He did over nights. He schooled me on all that is radio and production. I worked radio in Missouri, Arkansas, Oklahoma and back to Missouri. I loved it until automation took over.

I remember Gil Whitney and Don Wayne but can't remember Dick's last name.
Dick Bieser
Nice roll out counter screen pass at 4:35.
Does anyone remember the Uncle Orrie Show on WHIO? I was on that kids show once for a birthday party.
El-Bee is short for "Elder-Beerman", a department store chain founded in Dayton that was later bought by Bon-Ton Stores. They used to had locations in Toledo, OH once.
en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Elder-Beerman
Wow - that's before what I remember - they kept El-Bee for the Shoe store, but the furniture store went back to Elder-Beerman in the early 1980s.
WE frequented Elder Beerman on Smithville Rd which we lived close to. I'll never forget Santa arriving by helicopter.
Cool!
MCCTV goes coast to coast.
Which guy went to Chicago?
Hope you have the intro to this newscast.
Nope; would have posted the whole thing if I did. This was just an EOTF (end of tape find).
I think they at some point used the synthesizer intro of the Styx song
Lorelli (so) off the equinox album,
Bonsoir a tous c'est très lointain maintenant c'est plus ça😐
You don’t have any more from the Pittsburgh area ?
Ugh! Look at that peaceful, musical snow film! What a missed opportunity to fill up viewers' lives with more pointlessly animated graphics, more inane banter, more screaming commercials trying to sell them stuff they neither want nor need! How dare they inject a little peace and quiet?
