My website host has notified me that I've reached the maximum data usage level allowed with my existing plan. To increase to the next level would improve my ability to post more items of TV history, but the cost is prohibitive for me. I have made the difficult decision to remove many pictures and items from this site.
I've also archived all the removed historical narratives and YouTube addresses that weren't mine but were associated with the videos. If something changes, I'll repost the items.
Awards




In late August 2022, I was thrilled that I would receive the Illinois Broadcasters Association's W. Russell Withers, Jr. Illinois Broadcasters Association Downstate Broadcast Pioneer Award. The award would be handed out at the Illinois Broadcasters Event on October 24, 2022.
Two other major awards were also given, one other Broadcast Pioneer Award for the Chicago market went to John Gehron (pictured-center). He was responsible for WLS Music Radio in the 1970s and early 80s. I knew his name and had seen his picture many times, but it was a special evening to not only meet him but talk with him, meet his wife, and share the Pioneer Award with him!
Another broadcast hero, one who developed MeTV which is now my favorite entertainment TV network received the IBA Broadcaster of the Year. Besides MeTV, Neil Sabin pictured above-left has developed StartTV, Heroes and Icons, Movies!, Decades, StoryTV, and MeTV-Plus along with MeTV-FM.
To be honored at the same time with these veteran broadcasters is beyond my ability to describe!
Above right- I was thrilled to share my experience with my family who attended the event hosted by the Illinois Broadcasters Association.
Mike Hulvey of Neuhoff Media is pictured at the upper right, and the picture lower left has Doug with Rick Lipps of Sinclair Broadcast Group. They are Directors of the IBA.

In June of 2016 I had a chance to meet and talk with Dick Van Dyke when he visited Danville. After living in the Danville area since 1977, I finally met Danville's Favorite Son!
