Broadcasting Telecasting (Oct-Dec 1963)

PERSONALITY PORTRAIT CLANCY LAKE Clancy Lake, former City Editor of The Birmingham News and ace reporter of The Miami Herald is "Mr. News" to WAPI listeners. From the Alabama Senate floor or from a plane in the eye of a hurricane, from a disaster area, or the scene of crime ... if the news is breaking, Clancy finds a way to bring WAPI listeners a direct on-the-spot report. Not only are WAPI listeners the best informed people in Alabama, but WAPI is the only station in the country to have its own "great Lake."
