I directed the news back then and he was a piece of work but a great news director. Ownership changed and he ended up in FL selling condos. Now passed. I miss him.

I hope you don't mind a few diversions from the original thread but this trip down memory lane is fun. And the collection video is even better. Keep up the good work.
Yes I do remember Chuck Faber. I think he was the sports director at WTMJ. I remember he had a Sunday night show.

Don’t mind going down memory lane. I hope I can still keep mine. :-)

Ah, the golden age of television.

Edit: I think he was at WTMJ prior to Earl Gillespie. Maybe Chuck was not the sports director, but I remember him having an “important” role at the station and that Sunday night show.
