Description

More than 50 years ago, with the flip of a switch and the turn of a dial, local tv was an unforgettable a part of New Orleans culture. For lots of viewers, the memories remain vivid, although much of what they saw used to be in black and white. This number of vintage photographs highlights the history of popular programs and personalities, beginning with the town’s first station, WDSU-TV. After signing at the air in 1948, Channel 6 introduced favorites like Mrs. Muffin, The Great MacNutt, and Midday whilst building a news team that included local icons Mel Leavitt, Nash Roberts, and Alec Gifford. In 1957, WWL-TV took to the airwaves, developing a reputation for quality local programming and dominant news coverage. Channel 4 made household names out of Morgus the Magnificent, Hap Glaudi, John Pela, Phil Johnson, Bill Elder, and Angela Hill.
