This is Clif Kirk, the first anchorman for Eyewitness News, recording a promo for KIRO-TV’s Instant News camera. We were transitioning from 16mm film to portable video cameras. The recorder was attached via a cable to the camera. The camera was made by Ikegami. I’m just guessing at the model number, HL-1…The HL part is accurate and stood for Handy Looky!

Was just an infant living in Rainier Valley at that time when he and Sandy Hill were at the anchors on KIRO. Remember watching their newscasts with my folks back then.
