A very small font in Word, combined with highlighting it and doing a frame around it - but I'm not sure I could do it again. Tough enough duplicating it for "DEBUT" and "RETURN"!

(His co-workers often addressed him as "Chick")<br />The order was: McCuen at 5 and 6 pm (local news was starting to expand in the early '60s), Kalber at 10 pm.<br />McCuen stayed at ch5 until 1971, at which time he left broadcasting and went to Springfield to work for the Illinois State department of Education; he passed on in 1995. <br /><br />Just so you know ...Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05527404061764217504noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6042603612494762084.post-36941806131452022502017-06-26T23:50:17.827-04:002017-06-26T23:50:17.827-04:00Mitchell, this is my first time posting, but I bee...Mitchell, this is my first time posting, but I been a fan of this website for a few years. Nice job on the lineup, the only thing that is missing are the TV Guide channel bullets. However, you would probably have a graphic designer to achieve using that element, so it not really a big deal. There is one question though, I was wondering, how do you created the "COLOR" boxes for the lineups?<br /><br />Again, I must say you have a nice website. :)<br /> Seannoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6042603612494762084.post-65506201103385829462017-06-26T17:28:13.123-04:002017-06-26T17:28:13.123-04:00Was Frank Beutel related to Bill Buetel, who ancho...Was Frank Beutel related to Bill Buetel, who anchored the local news at WABC-TV New York for many years?Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6042603612494762084.post-51317419916238397242017-06-26T17:11:30.279-04:002017-06-26T17:11:30.279-04:00I like it, Mitchell.
