Frank Turner at WNEM-TV, Fling-Saginaw, Michigan

Frank Turner, Author

Neal Rubin: The long-timers at at Harper House know him, but some of the newcomers to the drug treatment center don’t, at least not at first.

He shows up on his day off and starts reading the Bible.

Then he gets to talking about it, and the talking begets shouting, and the shouting begets full-scale, howling-and-Hallelujah, love-and-salvation preaching, and then a light bulb goes on over someone’s head and a voice interrupts the sermon:

“Hey, that’s the TV guy!”

That’s Frank Turner, weekend anchor and reporter at WXYZ-TV.

Detroit Television (Images of America) – Tim Kiska and Ed Golick

It began atop the Penobscot Building on October 23, 1946, when WWDT shot a signal to the convention center, part of a “”New Postwar Products Exposition.”” WWJ-TV offered scheduled programming in June 1947, and WXYZ-TV and WJBK-TV jumped in a year later. The medium has influenced the city’s personality and social agenda ever since. Soupy Sales turned getting a pie in the face into an art form. Mort Neff celebrated the state’s outdoor charms. George Pierrot showed Detroiters the world. Other beloved personalities include: Milky the Clown, Ed McKenzie, Sonny Eliot, John Kelly, Marilyn Turner, Robin Seymour, Bill Bonds, Dick Westerkamp, Jingles, Bill Kennedy, Lou Gordon, Captain Jolly, Johnny Ginger, Auntie Dee, and many more.
