Meteorologist Charles Stump was arguably Orlando’s first TV news star. He spent nine years at WESH and six at WFTV before he died of a heart attack in 1975. In the late ’60s and early ’70s, when no one watched Channel 9, the station used to lead its 6 p.m. newscast with 10 minutes (including two commercial breaks) of Stump’s weather. He had this th...
Just call her the first lady of Central Florida television. That’s because she was the first woman to make it to the anchor desk here. But it was an interesting trip. Her first taste of television came as host of a talk show on the old Channel 35, WSWB. I believe it was called Florida Lifestyles, and it often originated from a garden in the middle ...
He is Mr. Super Doppler. For more than 35 years, Dave Marsh had been the steady voice of weather reason at WESH. One of my first Orlando TV memories is of Dave standing in front of his black and white “Radar Weather” screen in WESH’s Daytona Beach studios in the 1970s. Weather technology has changed a lot since then, and so has Marsh. He was one of...
There was no one more popular in Central Florida television in the 1980s than weatherman Danny Treanor. It’s the truth — WFTV had actual research to back it up. He joined WFTV in 1978 — part of the crew that Bob Jordan put together that took Channel 9 to the top. At one point, Treanor worked five shows at day — noon, 5, 5:30, 6 and 11. Behind the s...
Before Mickey Mouse came to Central Florida, Walt Sickles may have been the most popular character with Orlando’s kids. He was the host of Adventures with Uncle Walt, a kids show that started the afternoon WDBO-Channel 6 went on the air on July 1, 1954. Sickles (in the moustache) would chat with youngsters in the studio, show cartoons, and read nam...
If Ben Aycrigg is the Walter Cronkite of Orlando, then Bob Opsahl is the Tom Brokaw. As part of Central Florida TV’s second generation of anchors, Opsahl has been reporting the news for the past 25 years. He joined WFTV in 1978 when Bob Jordan saw him covering a school board meeting on WMFE-Channel 24. The UCF grad joined Channel 9 first as a gener...
Marla Weech and Bob Opsahl teamed to form one of the most successful anchor duos in the nation. At one point during their paring, I think I remember reading they anchored the highest-rated local newscast in America. Not bad for a hometown duo. Weech, a native Floridian, attended UCF, like Opsahl. She’s been on the air in Central Florida for more th...
What is it about Orlando TV and Bob Jordan? They just seem to go together. Jordan made a name for himself when he arrived in 1976 at last-place WFTV. The news department was pretty much a joke. Jordan (in the dual role of anchor and news director) beefed up Channel 9’s reporting staff, added Carole Nelson, Danny Treanor, Mike James and Bob Opsahl t...
Before the theme parks arrived, a lot of Central Floridians spent their time hunting and fishing. So it’s no wonder one of the most popular and longest-running shows on local TV was “Hunting and Fishing” with Don McAllister. Each week, Don and his sidekicks — Tom Benmark and Walter Hudson — would discuss the hot fishing holes and the best places to...
The Atlantic Weatherman? I didn’t know what it was either at first. But it was Frank Vaught, who did the weather and sports in the early days of Channel 6. Apparently Atlantic Oil Company (today known as ARCO) sponsored the early Channel 6 weathercasts — which were reported by Vaught, in an Atlantic Oil uniform (like they were wearing down at the “...
