Previous Message I remember watching these almost nightly with my parents, usually wand out of Decatur with Ron rector, Bob Murray, and Julie Moore and then wics out of Springfield.with I think Jerry lambert and Gus something on weather. I don’t remember the last time I watched an entire 6 or 10 pm local news show and know my kids never have
