Most of the people who watch wsaz have a favorite reporter,weatherman, etc. I think it would be nice if wsaz posted on the website everyone who has left for other jobs. these people are special to all wsaz viewers.

Had a ball working as a director in the late 50s for WSAZ. Worked with Ron Lester (Barefoot), Micky Banga (Aunt Dru) and many others. I remember when Dave Garroway brought his today show to Huntington. What a good time we all had.

Uncle Willie was on WCHS, Channel 8...potrayed by Sleepy Jeffers who passed away at age 70 in 1992

I was wondering where Samantha Koszey went to? I do know that Penny Moss took over her position, but was just wondering. Erin Jordan left b/c she was getting married. Go Adam wsaz needs that hottie back.

Hi all who asked about me! I am practicing law in Wheeling, WV. I work for a national firm based in Chicago..to see more go to www.wtwlaw.com. My daughter is great and living in North Carolina. I keep in touch or keep track of many former WSAZers. It's like a high school class where everywhere you look there is an old (or young) classmate. I truly enjoyed my career at WSAZ and still make contact with people due to that career. My work as an attorney is certainly enhanced by first being a journalist. Keep up the good work with the website.

I'm from the same Queens, NY area as Justin Ryan and would like to wish him a happy and fruitful career in the Detroit area and to send my best to both him and his friends and parents back in Howard Beach,Ozone Park and South Ozone Park NY

Is the Michael Goins that was a spokesperson for ex-Kentucky Governor Ernie Fletcher the same guy that used to be a reporter at WSAZ?

Posted by: Wilmont on May 14, 2008 at 11:44 PM
Its great to see the young kids like Shelley and that young boy also. But how about some newsmen like Hoo Murphy and that black woman who used to be on channel 3. Now those are some people who helped start your news channel.

I'd like to know whatever became of Della Crews? I me her once on the Levee in Charleston during the annual Sternwheel Regatta festival. She seemed like a very nice person, and tall, as I remember.

Whatever happened to that good looking redhead Peggy Fox?

Posted by: jamestevis on Apr 5, 2008 at 01:43 PM
I know this is a long shot because it was so long ago, but in 56 or 57, my basketball team Van Lear Bankmules Van Lear KY was featured on the Coffee Time show with Dean Sturm, Brownie Benson and Sue Chambers. Dean interviewed our team on the air. Do you think there is a tape of this show in your archives and if so how would I go about getting a copy. Thank you so much.

I remember an animated/anime TV series which aired on WV TV aprox 1971-74, aprox 15-1800LST/LDT. Best I recall, it featured humans in a space war. Don't recall which station it aired on. I remember weird space vehicles and a ship that resembled a WWII battleship. What was the name of the show and is it available on DVD?

Posted by: Linda on Mar 30, 2008 at 12:12 PM
Dear Mr. Huffman, You have been a blessing to thousands of children and adults alike. You taught positive, moral, and spiritual values to everyone who watched. From the, "Roll It," to, "Wave like mad and say bye Cartooners," yours was a wonderful show. I remember Steamboat Bill. But, I seem to remember, The Beachcomber and a lady host at one time? She sat in a rocking chair and wore a bonnet, if my memory serves me correctly. Could you tell me if I am thinking of the right show? And who played the part of Beeper? May God's blessings flow richly for you and yours.

what ever happen to dj and cathy thomas?

Posted by: Paul on Mar 28, 2008 at 02:05 PM
During the 25th. anniversary of WSAZ, they recreated the old Saturday Night Jamboree. It was a one hour show, with many of the original members performing. This program aired only one time. It would be nice to see a rebroadcast of this show if it is still available.

Posted by: Donald on Mar 18, 2008 at 01:28 PM
there was a black girl who worked there in the early 70's. we graduated from stonewall together, her name was maudeena jackson... where is she?

I would like to see and hear from Albert D. King Jr. He was a cameraman/ asst. director and visited the Mr. Cartoon Show. He lives in Pontiac, MI,

Posted by: Lisa on Mar 1, 2008 at 09:57 AM
I wonder where Deb Kramer and Scott Coppenbarger are these days? They were a lot of fun to watch back in the 90's in the mornings...I wish WSAZ would post some of her old recipes again like the caramel brownies. Both of these were a joy to watch and had such positive outlooks. Teamed up with Rob (who always makes the morning shows fun), they all seemed to have good chemistry. WSAZ always has the best morning show! My husband and I often laugh out loud at some of their humorous behavior, yet they're always consummate professionals. Anchors come and go...I hope we always get to keep Rob and Melanie! They're as good as a hot cup of coffee to start your morning, and we look forward to the sunrise edition each day. Keep up the excellent work, WSAZ!

Bob, I think Bob Bowen is dead. At the time, he was living in Lexington, KY. I read about it 4 or 5 years ago.

Posted by: Kristen on Feb 29, 2008 at 06:02 AM
I was just wondering "where are they now" to some of the WSAZ anchors from the early 1980's? I specifically remember Tim Sharp and Loren Tobia. Thanks!

I was doing a writers workshop at the Flatwoods Library and Tom Riley was there. I didn't get a chance to speak with him personally. He seemed so familiar, yet I couldn't place him at first. Can you tell me what he is doing these days? I would like his email if you can do that, to thank him for attending my workshop. It really was an honor to have him there. Thanks, Loretta

Posted by: Carolyn on Jan 10, 2008 at 08:52 AM

Posted by: Amy on Jan 8, 2008 at 04:29 PM
We used to live in the tri state and when my son, was younger, made a funny remark about Glenn Willie. It was about Christmas time and he had been watching Rudolf the Red Nose Reindeer earlier in the day, and looked up at Glenn on the TV and said....It's HERBIE!!! Then looked back and me and said...I thought Herbie wanted to be a dentist, not a weather man....lol

New Years, Adam Joseph was doing the weather on Good Morning America with Cambel Brown.

Posted by: Regina on Jan 1, 2008 at 07:50 PM
I remember a news anchor on the mid-day news by the name of Tom Jacobs. I could have this name wrong. I believe he was African American. I enjoy reading about the former employees. Thanks for an enjoyable walk down memory lane.

Posted by: B.J. Ginn on Dec 22, 2007 at 12:06 AM
What ever happened to Brooke Thacher. She was one of the best looking employees WSAZ had present or past.And a nice "down-to-earth"additude as well.

Posted by: lee on Dec 21, 2007 at 10:39 PM
where and what ever happened with JOE PALMERI ?

Posted by: Thurston Bland on Dec 21, 2007 at 10:12 PM
I travel a good bit and have seen some of those that people ask about. First, I had seen Hoyle Murphy at the statehouse..he works there. I think I seen old Tim Totten in Baltimore on tv. I dont know about Bob Smith and I think DJ may've passed on. Tom Sharp he is on tv in Athens..never cared for him. Kathy Browne she is in Morgantown with Tom McGee. As for people like Dimehoff and Joseph, they are way too young to be updated on this page. Leave the updates to Bob Smith, Gray, and older people like those. Thank you, I hope this helps.

Posted by: ana on Dec 16, 2007 at 10:46 PM
The weather guy before Adam Joseph? Who was that. He had dark hair and married one of the newscasters.

Posted by: Gail on Dec 15, 2007 at 07:03 AM
I can't remember the lady's name, I would like to know about a morning weather lady that was on the show several years ago. She was middle age and had a great personality.

Posted by: Pamela on Dec 13, 2007 at 10:59 PM

Posted by: Pamela on Dec 8, 2007 at 06:55 AM
I just want to know where Matt Shepard is working now? I never hear anything about him, but I do see Penny Moss and the children a lot, by the way the children are beautiful, like Penny and Matt.

Posted by: Lara on Dec 7, 2007 at 01:41 PM
Did you ever have a girl by the name of Natalie Tennant doing the weather for you?Also,what does D'arcy Robb do there?

Posted by: Brian Jarvis on Dec 6, 2007 at 09:10 PM
Thank You for this opportunity! My question is for Jules Huffman, (Mr. Cartoon). I am from Wharton, WV, and have been in the Army for 21 yrs now. I never got to go on your show, but always wanted to!! I have never forgotten the lessons you would teach and reinforce daily. Tha magic words! Please, Thank You, Your Welcome, Excuse Me and the hardest one of all, sometimes to this day, I'm Sorry! You taught respect, belief in a higher power, and manners! This has been a great trip down memory lane! Thank You Sir! Do you think a show for kids with your base of mentorship and religious encouragement could be possible in todays politically correct media world? And if so, are there currently any plans to start another Mr Cartoon-like after school show for kids or possibly the reairing of your original broadcasts? Thanks Again Sir for all you have done for all of us that grew up watching you after school. It was a daily ritual to get off the bus and wait to take a deep breath! God Bless You!!

Posted by: Teresa on Dec 5, 2007 at 07:46 AM

Posted by: Norman on Oct 30, 2007 at 09:06 PM
Did Mr Cartoon ever start out his show driving a car from out of the water?

Posted by: Deb on Oct 29, 2007 at 08:38 PM
I love this trip back in time too. Growing up in "the sticks" we had only one channel and it was 3. I haven't seen anyone mention Della Ryan. I always liked watching her, but my mom thought she was such a classy lady. She always thought Della would end up at the network doing nightly news or something.

Posted by: Anonymous on Oct 28, 2007 at 01:32 PM
Editor's Note: Jim Treacy left a couple months ago to open up his own business in Cabell County. Jennifer Cottrill got married this weekend and is moving to Raleigh, North Carolina. Loren Tobia is still "in development." :) Actually, we plan to make his story part of an upcoming episode of "A Time To Remember" so that is why we are saving it! Keep the questions coming!

Posted by: Carol on Oct 27, 2007 at 10:06 AM
Does Jennifer Cortrill still work there? Thank You...

Posted by: Judy on Oct 26, 2007 at 11:45 AM
Can or cannot WSAZ find Loren Tobia?

Posted by: Terry on Oct 22, 2007 at 12:10 AM
How about Bob Smith? He was one of my favorites! He could have easily gone network! Kathy Brown? DJ? My family and I would really enjoy seeing them again, and hearing about what they are up to these days. I notice that Bob is on some car commercial that airs on WSAZ.

Posted by: Stephanie on Oct 21, 2007 at 08:55 PM
what happened to Jim Tracey

Posted by: Fin on Oct 12, 2007 at 10:48 PM
Where is Tim Tooten

Posted by: Scott on Oct 10, 2007 at 10:51 PM
Editor's Note: To answer some of your questions...Unfortunately, we don't have many episodes of Mr. Cartoon on tape. We have some old clips, but not many. The chances of having the 1980 program are slim. The same thing applies to Coffee Time too. Reasons for employees leaving vary widely. Many are for family reasons. Some like to live in different areas of the country to experience different things and move on. And to Hoy -- you're on the list of those we want to catch up with in the future. So, when you find out what happened to yourself, let us know too! :)

Posted by: kay on Oct 10, 2007 at 09:39 AM
I would love to obtain copy of mr.cartoon when my 5th grade class was there in 1980. Is this possible or do old clips even still exist? thanks. much love to mr. cartoon!

Posted by: Debbie on Oct 9, 2007 at 02:07 PM
What is the most common reason for someone leaving, change in family status or higher pay?

Posted by: Debbie on Oct 9, 2007 at 02:05 PM
I'm glad you're doing this "Where Are They Now". Often we miss the announcement when someone leaves and it's disconcerting to watch someone on a daily basis and then one day they're just gone.

Posted by: Amy on Oct 9, 2007 at 05:50 AM
Lets walk down memory lane---kennie bass, dave metzold,PM magazine and the lovely and perky cathy whiteside. What ever happened to this fine group of wsaz employees

Posted by: Jerry Gammon on Oct 5, 2007 at 01:23 AM
Who was the host on Coffee Time back in the 50's and are films of the shows still around?

Posted by: Lynn on Oct 4, 2007 at 03:32 AM
Hi,we lived in Huntington during 98/99 & we enjoyed watching your programmes, my husband liked Debbie Cramer & would like to know what happened to her. We holiday in USA every year & always watch in hope of seeing her in a different state.I read your web page most days.Best wishes.

Posted by: Judy on Sep 26, 2007 at 02:59 PM
We don't know Hoy. What did happen to you?

Posted by: Jackie on Sep 24, 2007 at 01:59 PM
I would like to find out about Tom Ziska {unsure of spelling}. He always intrigued me. I met him and he was very nice.

Posted by: L. on Sep 21, 2007 at 12:00 PM
I'd like to know how Glen Willy, (not sure about his last name,) a past weather forecaster, is doing. I really enjoyed watching him. I would like to see how Debra, another past weather forecaster, is doing, too. Seems like I remember she went back to Texas?

Posted by: Jo on Sep 20, 2007 at 10:59 PM
Really enjoy "Where are they now" What ever happened to Kathy Brown? Did she become a lawyer? would like to hear about her.

Posted by: Joyce K Staker on Sep 20, 2007 at 06:31 PM
Let us hear from Matt Shepherd. The only time we get to see him is when he and Penny have a new baby. What is he doing now?

Posted by: Bob on Sep 19, 2007 at 02:39 PM
What ever happened to Bill Cummings?

Posted by: Sidney on Sep 19, 2007 at 10:39 AM
Gene, I think Jim Thacker who was the sportscaster and re-located to North Carolina is deceased!

Posted by: Hoy Murphy on Sep 17, 2007 at 02:33 PM
I wonder whatever happened to me?

Posted by: Gene on Sep 15, 2007 at 11:52 PM
Anyone remember George Lewis? He was Mr Cartoon in the 60's before Jule took over. I remember going to see him with my brother and sister at Button Auditorium in Morehead. All of the kids there received a loaf of Tiger Bread. Wonder where he is now? That has been around 44 years ago. Amazing how little things like this stick in your mind for so many years. I'm sure the time all the kids spent with Jule will be remembered by them as well. Thanks for a lot of memories WSAZ.

Posted by: Lloyd on Sep 15, 2007 at 11:38 AM
Would enjoy info on Jim Thacker who was a sportscaster and DJ the weather lady!!!!!!

I just discovered WSAZ on the Internet and was pleasantly surprised to find "Where are they Now?" To a transplanted West Virginian,It brought back many memories!

Posted by: stephen w spence on Sep 2, 2007 at 10:36 PM

Posted by: Chuck Murphy on Sep 1, 2007 at 02:32 AM
What happened to Tim Sharp? Didn't he use to work out of Parkersburg then run for public office. He had this flowing blonde hair and this down home feel that just was amazing.

Posted by: Brenda on Aug 30, 2007 at 10:37 PM
I Love all the staff at WSAZ,It's all I have ever watched. I often think about a young man,I think his name was Jeff. The banter between him and Jule Juffman in the mornings always started my day of with a good feeling It was so good natured and priceless. I would love to know where he is now and if him and Jule keep in touch.

Posted by: Sandy on Aug 30, 2007 at 05:38 PM
Please post something about DJ the weather lady..I grew up watching her on TV

Posted by: David on Aug 29, 2007 at 11:58 AM
No questions, just keep us informed about all of the "Old Timers" of WSAZ.

Posted by: Brett on Aug 29, 2007 at 08:41 AM
I love this trip down memory lane. Whatever happened to DJ the weather girl and Tom Riley? Jule Huffman will always be my favorite. I watched him from the early 60's.

Scott Sobol suddenly disappeared from the screen. Where is he now and what is he doing?

Posted by: Jenny on Aug 10, 2007 at 05:55 PM
I remember watching Jule Huffman since I was a very young girl. I remember watching a morning show in which Jule sang and played the piano. He was so young and handsome then. My question is, why did you stay in Huntington at WSAZ? At that time I thought you were as handsome and talented as any Hollywood entertainer. Did you ever have dreams of making it big nationally?

Posted by: Bob on Aug 10, 2007 at 08:39 AM
Growing up in W.Va the only channel we could get was WSAZ. I'm going way back here with some of these names but...what ever happened to: Farmer Bill Click, D.J. the weather girl, Dean Sturm, the band members from 'Saturday Night Hayride'...a couple of their names were Odie Crabtree and "Bigfoot" Charlie Keaton. I'm sure there are other folks from the station that I'm forgetting. It was nice seeing Jule Huffman and Bos Johnson...they were both around back in the good 'ole days. Thank you for this trip down memory lane and any information on the aforementioned employees from back then would be appreciated.

Posted by: Mark on Aug 9, 2007 at 04:54 PM
I would like to know an update on Deborah Cramer too. When my kids were first starting school, we had to get up early in the morning to watch her weathercast before they would get on the bus.

Posted by: J on Aug 7, 2007 at 11:22 PM
Where is Lisa Teachman and what is she doing?

It is 'COMING SOON: Bob Brunner, Jule Huffman (Mr. Cartoon), Diane Dimoff, Shelly Slater, Loren Tobia' and been saying this for quite sometime. I suggested Mr. Cartoon 2-3 months ago and no new article. I'm think if you can't get this people to do an interview than you should take that off the website because to me its misleading.

Jared Smalley is now the Sports Director of the Columbus NBC station WCMI channel 4. I remembered when I moved to Central Ohio and I first saw him, I said to myself that guy looks familiar then they said his name. I remember him doing a story when Ohio State was set to play Marshall in football couple of years ago. He mentioned that he was from the Huntington area had mixed feelings about the game. He now has a special sports show on every friday night until football season then he has Football Friday Night covering Central Ohio's high school football which is huge task.

WHY DONT YOU PUT MISTER CARTOON BACK ON DO ALL HIS OLD SHOWS MY KIDS WOULD LOVE IT I DID

Posted by: Melissa on Jul 26, 2007 at 02:55 PM
I am so loving the Mr. Cartoon clips. I was never on the show but watched it for as long as I can remember. Is Jule Huffman in the area?

If I'm not mistaken, Debi Thomas was the first female anchor in our area (other than "special interest" hosts like D. J. Schroder). Last I saw any indication of what hapenned to her, she was doing public relations for Qwest Communications in Denver (I saw her read a statement for that company on a news story regarding a strike some years back). Can she be tracked down, and her true role in bringing gender-equality to the local airwaves revealed? By the way, Lois, Tim Sharp is working for Ohio University in Athens, and he occasionally does newscasts on the college's public radio station, WOUB. As you recall, Tim had left WSAZ to run for Congress. And as for Bob Brunner, Scott, he "retired" for a while and lived in the Knoxville area, where he worked parttime for WSAZ's now-sister station, WVLT...but he now is back in West Virginia, news director of a TV station in the Beckley area!

I hear our good friend Jared Smalley is thriving in the Columbus area. What do you miss most about home?

Posted by: Gary on Jul 20, 2007 at 08:24 AM
I've been watching TV 3 since the early 1960's. Since it was the clearest broadcast..(Antenae days). Where is Jule Huffman, and what is he doing now? I would love to see a Mr. Cartoon special! Also, what ever happened to Bob Bowen?

Posted by: Wallie on Jul 20, 2007 at 03:08 AM
Moved to Kansas City about a year ago from WV. Turned on the TV and Lisa Teachman is doing the weather out here! Small world!

Posted by: Fred on Jul 18, 2007 at 10:20 PM
I would like to know the whereabouts of Deborah Cramer, the weather lady back about 10 yrs ago. Thanks

Posted by: Jeffrey on Jul 13, 2007 at 10:33 AM
What ever happened to Criag Alexander, He was the 6 and 11 anchor back in the 1970s. Also how about Debbie Thams, an anchor during the same time.

Posted by: Brett on Jul 13, 2007 at 10:08 AM
I love this trip down memory lane. I have been watching wsaz since the early 60's and really miss Mr. Cartoon, both the early Saturday morning "POP" (pals of popeye), and the 4:00 pm show. I would like to see it come back.

Posted by: Lois on Jul 6, 2007 at 08:40 AM

WHAT HAPPENED WITH MR HUFFMAN

Posted by: john on Jun 22, 2007 at 03:50 PM
What happened to Brooke Thacker. That smile was contagious and she sounded like a real person, not the reporter speak.

Posted by: Scott on Jun 22, 2007 at 09:13 AM
What about Bob Brunner? I remember he spoke to my English class at Barboursville High school back in '84

Posted by: David on Jun 20, 2007 at 11:03 PM
Concerning "Boz Johnson", when he did the local news, everyone at my house huddled around the TV. Mr. Johnson always presented himself as a true professional.

I can remember Bob Smith in Logan doing radio at WVOW.

Jerry Sander is now working at WKYT which is the CBS Station based out of Lexington, KY.

Posted by: Cindy on Jun 19, 2007 at 07:41 PM
Can you give me a bio update on Bob Bowen. I have never seen a sportscaster that did a better job than Bob. He is missed.

Posted by: Ponda on Jun 19, 2007 at 06:45 PM
I would like to know about Diane Dimoff and Samatha cozsey. Where are they now and what are they doing? I thought they were both wonderful news women.

Posted by: Beth on Jun 16, 2007 at 01:51 PM
I would love a follow-up story on Bob Smith. I have noticed him on a few Advantage Toyota commercials. He was a staple on the nightly news for me as a child. I even have a coloring book where I'd write his name when I was learning to read and such. Wondering if he misses doing the nightly news and what he's been up to since retiring.

Posted by: Pat on Jun 15, 2007 at 07:52 PM
I just wondered if Adam Joseph ever got married?

Posted by: Belinda on Jun 13, 2007 at 02:12 PM
