Video duration: 525 seconds Legenary news anchor Charlie Gaddy bids farewell to his audience in this moving edition of the Six O'Clock News. Humble and gracious to the last moment, Gaddy's stirring farewell speech at the end of the newscast is both classy and heart-felt. It reminds us all of why Gaddy was one of the most beloved local anchors in the entire country.

WTVD-11 Newsbrief (Fall 1987) Posted by: randygupton2
Video duration: 55 seconds 20 years ago, veteran Triangle Newsman Larry Stogner still had hair. In fact, he didn't have a double chin. Amazing what age does to a person. I was surprised to find this on a 20-year-old tape. WTVD has always been the #2 player in local news. Still, it brings back memories to see this graphics package. After all -- when was the last time you saw a local "Newsbrief" anyway? Related: 1987, abc, donahue, durham, larry, movie, raleigh, star, stogner, trek, wtvd |

Action News 5 Promo (April 1988) Posted by: randygupton2
Video duration: 88 seconds This is Soft News at its absolute worst. WRAL did a series on dating. By the looks of the people in this promo you have to ask why anyone would even bother. Either the late '80s were a lot uglier than I remember them -- or these people needed a serious makeover. Related: 1988, action, cbs, geraldo, news, raleigh, wral |

The Essence of Me (April 1994) Posted by: randygupton2
Video duration: 271 seconds This was a class project for my "Major American Authors" class in college. It was one of my favorite classes of all time. It really captures the things that were important to me back then -- from a standpoint of career and entertainment. Much of that has changed today. Still, this is a great look back at a young, 19 year old Randy. Related: 1994, gupton, nc, ncsu, randy, state, wax-tv, wral-tv |

WPTF: The First 50 Years (Part 2) Posted by: randygupton2
Video duration: 388 seconds This is the second half of the WPTF 50 Year Anniversary Special. It's not as entertaining as the first half, and not nearly as nostalgic. It exemplifies the sappy early '70s with an absolutely awful jingle that goes on and on and on and on. Believe me, any station playing this today would be laughed out of business. Still, it captures how far WPTF had come by 1974. Related: 50th, am, anniversary, fm, gupton, radio, raleigh, randy, wptf, wqdr |

WPTF Legal ID Posted by: randygupton2
Video duration: 15 seconds This was the generic ID used for WPTF in the mid to late 90s. It contained no reference to time. This was mostly used during special events/programs when the station was not planning to join CBS Radio News LIVE at the top of the hour. It was dropped in February 2001 when WPTF dropped its affiliation with CBS Radio/Westwood One. Related: cbs, gupton, news, raleigh, randy, wptf |

WPTF Election '98 OPEN Posted by: randygupton2
Video duration: 28 seconds This open was used for WPTF Election Night Coverage in November, 1998. I was stationed at Republican Campaign Headquarters in Downtown Raleigh. Wasn't a good night for the GOP as Lauch Faircloth went down in flames to an unknown pretty-boy ... John Edwards. Related: 1998, election, gop, gupton, news, raleigh, randy, wptf |
