The voice behind CBS' old Saturday morning show "In the News" is dead from liver cancer.  Quote:

CBS correspondent Christopher Glenn dies
NORWALK, Conn. - Christopher Glenn, a longtime CBS news correspondent who anchored coverage of the space shuttle Challenger explosion and was the voice of the children's program "In the News" in 1970s and 80s, has died. He was 68.
Glenn died Tuesday of liver cancer in Norwalk Hospital less than three weeks before his induction into the Radio Hall of Fame, the network said.
The award-winning newsman retired in February after 35 years with CBS. His distinctive voice was familiar to those who remember the Emmy-award winning "In the News." The 2 1/2-minute feature on one topic was broadcast every half hour during Saturday children's programming on CBS. It debuted in September 1971 and ran for 5,000 episodes over 13 seasons.
He anchored and reported on many national stories including space shuttle missions and served as a floor reporter at national political conventions.
It was Glenn who anchored the Jan. 28, 1986, launch of the doomed shuttle Challenger and delivered an anguished commentary as the spacecraft exploded shortly after lift off.

Carlito remembers Popeye and Tarzan saying "Next, another interesting story that's in the news." and that flying globe, but not much else. It was a long long time ago. VCRs were called VTRs back then so recording commercials never happened. They were not as cool as they should have been.

I'm with rex on this one. I watched countless hours of Saturday morning cartoons and I don;t remember "In theh News" or whatever the hell it was called. Frankley if News came on durring my Sat morning toons I woulda been on that dial in a heartbeat. Well, some old dude died, that sucks I guess, but he wasn't any part of my childhood.

But I'm older than most of you.

Not really gayer.
I think G and I are in the same demographic, age-wise. I remember Glenn, too.
Those who don't remember him or IN THE NEWS or who don't care he's dead, well, fuck you, too.

I remember those "In The News" spots as far back as 1973 - 74, when I was in high School.
