WLOX-TV Â
 We have been bombarded with important anniversaries this year.  Closer to home, our local television station, WLOX-TV was formed in 1962, so we have been seeing a lot of old footage.  Beloved Good Morning America anchor Robin Roberts – now recovering from a second round of cancer treatment – worked at WLOX for a few years and also grew up on the Coast (in Pass Christian); she almost single-handedly brought knowledge to the major media of the devastation from Hurricane Katrina in Mississippi, when most talked only of New Orleans.  Chuck Scarborough got his start at WLOX-TV as well; when I lived in New York, I used to see him on the local news at WNBC-TV, where he has been the lead male news anchor for nearly 40 years.  (Year 3 Review)  |
