New
Minot Radio KCJB 910 AM and
KCJB-TV - KCJB arrived on the scene
with several new personalities and shows. Two of these were Dean Thurrow, and
Cis Hadley. Cis went out to neighboring towns grocery stores for remote
broadcasts. One of these was from the HiLo Groceries at Van Hook. Of course the
show was called "Hello from HiLo" .
Many remember being at the remote shows and also listening to the shows to
see if your neighbors might be interviewed on the radio.
Another Minot Memory would be when KCJB TV went “On Air”. The first year they
were at the state fair they did closed circuit from several locations on the
fair grounds. The broadcasts were not very
clear, having a lot of “snow” on the scene. This led to the famous
statement of one fair attendee watching the dairy cattle judging in a different
building. His statement to his wife was “lets go over to the dairy barn, its hot here but looks like it’s snowing over there" “Live” TV at its best.... KCJB-TV is now KXMC-TV.
