Television Talk byKimFatica Bob Begany, a 36-year veteran of television news at WJW in Cleveland, passed away at Fairview Hospital December 22. He was 76. A Kent State University graduate and a WWII Navy photographer, Begany started his professional career as an industrial photographer for the National Carbon Co., mov- ing on to become a public relations photographer for the Chesapeake & Ohio Railway and personal photographer for industrialist Cyrus Eaton before joining WJW in 1957. He was a member of the International Alliance of Theatrical Stagehands & Employees Union (IATSE) and won the UPI News Leader Award in 1981 for Top Investigative Story in Ohio broadcast jour- nalism. Begany's co-workers were endeared with his own brand of humor laced with personal twists and malaprops, his trademark flattop haircut and gear always strapped to his pull cart. Gary Stromberg told the Cleveland Plain Dealer, "Many times, spending the day with Bob Begany was more inter- esting than the story we were covering." His wife Mariann, two daughters and seven grandchildren survive him. Two photojournalists have rejoined the WUAB/WOIO staff in Cleveland. Jeff Platz WKYC Director of Photography, Kim Fatica, left, took this shot of him with fellow Bowling Green State University alumnus Scott Hamilton and line producer Gary Detman after shooting an interview with returned to the station after a two-year stint Hamilton at the station in Cleveland. with Fox Sports Ohio.

WUAB/WOIO is currently experiencing, "a total news makeover," says News Operations Manager and former ONPA TV Vice President Ron Strah. The stations will be expanding into a five o'clock news show, debuting a new set complete with a new graphics and music package and the "Action News" moniker. Chief Photographer Pete Sartschev says the news group has also christened a brand new Bell Jet Ranger helicopter, replacing its older Robinson 044 chopper, which will soon be leased by neighbor WKYC. The new, two-blade chopper is outfitted with a Flir remote camera system. The stations also made the tape format switch to Panasonic's DVCPro system back in February. The format, Sartschev claims, "has been a great performer." Steve France, chief photographer/assignment manager at WUPW, Toledo and his wife Diane became parents of triplets on May 25th. Macy Elizabeth was the first one to show her face at 2:31am weighing in at 3 pounds 5 ounces. Macy's sister Melissa Victoria came 2 minutes later at 2:33am, she weighed in at 4 pounds 7 ounces.
