NEWSMAN! Wanda Ramey put on a workman's helmet and from a construction elevator beamed out a KPIX special on the progress of the newest, tallest building in San Francisco. Wanda Ramey rode with the S Squad at midnight to give KPIX Noon News Show viewers the lowdown on San Francisco Detail Police. Wanda Ramey brought her viewers face to face with one of their new neighbors — a bearded beatnik recently moved to North Beach, S.F., from Greenwich Village, N.Y. Object: to find out just what makes a beatnik tick. 124 Wanda Ramey is half* the reason it took only six months for KPIX Noon News to become the top-rated half-hour news show in the greater San Francisco Bay Area. She's one of many reasons most Bay Area viewers take 5 — KPIX Channel 5 — the most exciting station in town ! * The other half is John Weston, her co-star on KPIX NOON NEWS SHOW ®KPIX 5 San Francisco ©g)® Westinghouse Broadcasting Company, Inc.
