We Remember Gary Owens, Stan Chambers, and Bob Simon - a podcast by Smitty, Mike, and The Galaxy Gang

We remember three individuals the field of Radio and Television Broadcasting who we lost in February of 2015. Gary Owens, the legendary announcer best remembered for his announcing role on "Rowan and Martin's Laugh-In", died on February 12th. He is also very well remembered for his local radio work in Los Angeles. Mr. Owens' baritone voice was unmistakable, and we still remember him telling us about "Beautiful Downtown Burbank" on the old Laugh-In show. Stan Chambers, the legendary TV personality who spent decades at KTLA Channel 5 in Los Angeles, passed away on February 13th. Mr. Chambers began working at KTLA in 1947 and stayed until 2010. He covered many historic events in that span of years, from natural disasters that occurred in Southern California, to A-Bomb tests, to assassinations, riots, and many other historic events. Finally, we remember Bob Simon of CBS news. He died on February 11th. Mr. Simon was the victim of an automobile accident in downtown Manhattan. His assignments took him to many places in the world, facing danger in the field, and at one time actually was taken hostage along with others during the Persian Gulf War. It is ironic that he should lose his life in Manhattan after having faced so many dangerous situations around the world. Join us as we remember and we salute these giants of broadcasting on this edition of Galaxy Moonbeam Night Site, on the Galaxy Nostalgia Network.
