Fifty years of news in Western Michigan
Broadcaster Fred Douglas presents "Fifty years of news in Western Michigan," a special celebrating the founding of WKZO Radio in 1931 and highlighting many of the stories the station has covered. He narrates radio pieces that show the changing landscape of southwestern Michigan as it experienced the Great Depression, World War II, Vietnam, and other historical turmoil. Clips range from Dr. Willis Dunbar interviewing a local worker at the Clarage Fan Company to news coverage of the devastating snowstorms of 1967 and 1978.
