A Scrapbook of Cleveland TV Memories

 

 Welcome to Northeast Ohio TV Memories.  This is a collection of photos from in front of the camera and from behind the scenes in Cleveland area TV.  Anyone can submit photos from any TV station.  Just email your photos to Neil Zurcher at neilzurcher@gmail.com

 

I was a reporter at WJW-TV for 42 years and still do a blog, www.onetanktrips.com about my travels and books.

 

This site has been helped by Dr. Alan Stephenson at John Carroll University who has supplied many photos from their popular media collection.

 

The idea is to serve as a collection spot for those that work, or have worked in Cleveland TV, to post pictures and memories that go all the way back to the late 1940s.

 

Please dig into your albums and help keep this project going and feel free to share some memories on the site.
