Historic photos as WWL-TV celebrates 55th anniversary
Channel 4 is celebrating a milestone today: our 55th birthday. In this slide show, we look back on some of the familiar faces who helped build WWL into the station it is today, and hope you'll join us in celebrating 55 great years. Here is Bill Elder, in his iconic spot on the noon and 5:00 anchor desk – a spot he held for more than 30 years. He was a local TV icon, winning awards (including the Peabody) for his investigative reporting and bringing the news to you in his own unique style.
