I 1 A-feioTVII EDITIONS The Arizona Republic Wednesday, September 29, 1982 Calendar figured that's an awful lot of No. Is to live up to. Usually, when you get in that position, there's only one way to go if you don't work at it. Of course, we continued to work at it. The other people (local news operations) eventually caught up.

They hustled because they could see what we were doing. They could see that we were winning. They decided to do something about it. I'm thankful for that. Why? I think it makes better people.

You can get complacent if you're No. 1 for a long time. KOOL-TV will cease to exist later this week. In a sense, perhaps because of the tradition, it's sad to see the call letters retired, isn't it? KOOL-TV will be retired, but KOOL-FM will still be on, so KOOL is still in the marketplace. I've been here 26 years and it's always been KOOL-TV.

It will be sad to see them KOOL-TV Continued from E7 very, very worthwhile, and now it's an invaluable tool. Videotape, from its beginning to its now more compact, highly visible, better quality, has dropped out the use of film and given people those kinds of pictures that look live. That's what you really want. It's probably fair to say there's a great deal of trepidation inside the station a fear of the unknown regarding new ownership and new top management. How are you handling the transition? I have to work on a positive frame of mind.

Mr. Chauncey told all of us that the Gulf people told him that they wanted us to stay. That's positive. He told us the best way to greet these people is to do for them what we i did for him. That's positive.

I think, for me anyway, we may be losing a great friend, but that doesn't mean we're losing the whole station. He would not deal, in my opinion, with people who would not treat us fairly. Consequently, I'm positive about it. Everyone seems to have fond memories of what is referred to today as the "Golden Age of Television." When was KOOL-TV's golden age, its peak, or has it been reached yet? You might say, for those of us who are here, that it's still coming because we'd certainly like to be a part of it. We, at one time, dominated the market so much it was not funny.

We had a 46 percent share of the 6 o'clock news, and that was with Bill Close. Walter Cronkite before him had a 46 (percentshare). We seemed to have eight, nine, 10 of the top 10 shows, 16 of the top 20. You were sitting on top and you got scared because you go because they are excellent call letters, very memorable. For most of us who have been here a long time, it will be sad.

I would think that while it is the end of that era, the new people would like to begin a new era. We have had a great leader, which perhaps makes it difficult for the new man coming in. I don't know what kind of a guy he is, but the people he's going to be compared with have been in the market for all my years and have done a good job in it. He will have some shoes to fill; that does not mean he can't fill them. I think the new era will be a good one.

No one likes to see a good friend, a father, a relative pass away, but you don't stop. Our people are still here; they still do the same good work. I i think it will continue to be as good in that respect. You'll tuck that great memory away and save it. 79 Saturday, Sweetwater School, Glen-dale.
