Latest Updates February 1
Thanks to contributor Ron Moses, a former
director at WMBD-TV from 1965 to 1970, I've updated
the History of WMBD-TV.
He talks about his time in Peoria and mentions
many of the personalities of the time. He also
contributed a terrific picture of the WMBD AM/FM/TV
studios from 1957, taken right before WMBD-TV
went on the air!
