You know when I was an infant I used to watch alot of local and network news with my folks while having dinner. One of the newscasters we watched alot during the 1970's was none other then Sandy Hill who was the co-host on ABC's "Good Morning America" with David Hartman from 1978-80 (Sandy was replaced by Joan Lunden in 1980). Before she joined "Good Morning America" in 1978,

Sandy

Hill started her news career here in Seattle from 1969-74 on the CBS

affiliate,

KIRO TV 7, as the co-anchor and weather forcaster with the late Cliff Kirk on the 6:30 PM news. Sandy also was known as the "movie gal" for hosting "The

Big

Money Movie" on KIRO TV that used to come on every afternoon at 3:30 PM in where you can win big money if you can answer the trivia question right from her.

I liked Sandy alot when I was an infant because she was known for her

wonderful

smile everytime she's on TV. She was really wonderful and funny! Today

Sandy

now lives in Bellevue, Washington which a suburb of Seattle and is no longer

in

the TV business.

Also another favorite of mines was Ann Martin who also was with KIRO TV from 1974-76. Ann was a close friend and classmate of Sandy Hill while they were attending school at the University of Washington here in Seattle. Back in

1974

just a few months before Sandy was about ready to leave Seattle for the big time (I think she was going to either KABC or KNXT (now KCBS) in Los Angeles after she left KIRO), Sandy invited Ann to come and work at KIRO to do the

news

and do the weather also and thats how Ann got her start in the broadcasting business. Ann Martin left KIRO in 1976 and went on to KABC in Los Angeles

and

is now on KCBS TV as the co-anchor on the 5PM news down there.

So now you know about my favorite newscasters during the 70's they started

out

local and made it to the big time. Anyone remember Sandy Hill when she was

on

"GMA"? Also Ann Martin? Also please respond if you have your own favorite newscaster during the 1970's.

Not only do I remember Sandy Hill. I have clips of her. For me, she became known when she replaced Nancy Dussault on GMA. That was in the 70's and I was either in junior high and or in high school at the time. I thought she was sexy as Hell. I
remember a couple of stories she did for GMA that got me excited. In one she wore a slit skirt. In another one where she was in a forest she wore shorts. Unfortunately, at that time, there were no VCR's,But in the 80's, when they were available I was
able to save clips of her. I taped various clips of her from when she hosted the CBS morning shows and also the "Home" show. I live in New York. After she
finished being network, she hosted briefly a local New York/New Jersey show. To be honest, I
mainly recorded her when she was showing off her legs. My favorites were when she was wearing a leather mini-skirt. I have a channel on YouTube, in which I
upload various clips of famous women I recorded over the years. I think I uploaded a clip of
Sandy Hill among them if you want to look.
