This and all of the early signage, such as on the sides of the studio cameras, was created by our founding chief engineer, Bill Vandermay. I began at K2 in 1974 and am coming up on 40 years here! No more Fisher, though. We are now part of Sinclair Broadcast Group as of yesterday.J. R.

For a long time I didn't realize that KOMO and KATU were sibling stations, or that the company that provided me scones at the Oregon State Fair was the same one that provided me approximately 1/3rd of my TV viewing.<br /><br />I keep thinking I'll send an email to KATU saying "look what I found! Can you help me tell its story?" but I keep fearing that they'll figure that it's still theirs and they want it back. I'm mulling doing that.Samuel John Kleinhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00514541030057763303noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7189482.post-4189060665550234672012-02-27T22:16:52.384-08:002012-02-27T22:16:52.384-08:00Nice!
