- In an era when more and more local broadcasters are worshiping at the Shrine of the Tabloid ... the Berk family and its news managers usually have erred on the side of caution. Far more often than not, they have been responsible, conscientious journalists. It is sad to see yet another local, family-owned broadcasting outlet gobbled up by a faceless, out-of-state conglomerate. (en)
- You just deliver the news. And you don't tell people how to think. You don't tell them it's an 'awful' murder. Yeah, it's awful that the kid got run over by the steamroller... we don't ask his mother, 'How do you feel?' I don't do that because you know how she feels, for crissakes. (en)
- News ceases at this moment. (en)
- It was almost like we're sort of in it together ... working for good video [for an audition tape] instead of money. (en)
- You never forget, it's like when JFK was shot... Mark Williamson and I were out at The Church of Latter-Day Saints out in Cuyahoga Falls...we were getting ready to put this three-part series together. We literally walked back in the station and they said, "about ten seconds ago, they said none of us had jobs." (en)
- I hope people will see that we tried. We stepped up when nobody was stepping up. (en)
- ...in trying to get Channel 23 to put on a local newscast, city officials are ignoring some unpleasant realities about the way TV works. First of all, a newscast, no matter how simple, isn't made by elves. Someone has to pay for it. (en)
- You have to marvel at Fred , keeping spirits up down there in the newsroom, with them not being rated... it's an ego thing. He walks down the street, and people recognize him. 'Hey, Fred,' they say. Ever been out to lunch with him? That ego boost, that recognition, is what keeps the team going. It's sheer guts. (en)
- You at WAKR-TV must always realize, that the people will be greatly influenced by your programs... I'm sure you will realize your duties to these people. (en)
- This was our TV station that they packed up and moved out of town, and now they want to climb up on our roof and put an antenna up. I have a problem with that. (en)
- TV was much more exciting back then—the urgency of it, not knowing what was going to happen... it was live. If you made mistakes, you made mistakes. (en)
