Description

Monday marks the 75th anniversary of WCCO’s first ever television broadcast in the Twin Cities. Ron Handberg wasn’t at WCCO-TV way back in 1949 when the station broadcast its first ever newscast, but he was responsible for shaping the station throughout the second half of the 20th century. Handberg got his start at WCCO radio in 1960 and was the producer of the first Scene Tonight shows on WCCO-TV in the late ‘70s. He joined MPR News host Cathy Wurzer on the show to paint of a picture of his early years on WCCO.
