August 14, 2024 - Preview of Upcoming Story on Former WLOS Anchor Ken Owen's Visit to Asheville

This ran to preview a story which would air a week later. The aircheck is not available so this is the raw video that aired, without narration.

This is the script as presented on air :

AS WE CELEBRATE 70-YEARS ON THE AIR... WE ARE TAKING YOU TO MCCORMICK FIELD...

IT IS ONE OF THE OLDEST MINOR LEAGUE STADIUMS..THAT IS STILL USED ON A REGULAR BASIS.

THE ASHEVILLE TOURISTS HAVE BEEN A MAJOR STAPLE AT MC-CORMICK FIELD SINCE W-L-O-S STARTED IN 19-54.

ON THAT DIAMOND... YOU WILL SEE A FEW... W-L-O-S LEGENDS.

RECENTLY... SPORTS DIRECTOR CHRIS WOMACK TOSSED A BASEBALL AROUND WITH FORMER SPORTS DIRECTOR STAN PAMFILIS AND FORMER ANCHOR KEN OWEN.

IT'S BEEN A BUCKET LIST DREAM FOR KEN TO PLAY CATCH AT MCCORMICK FIELD.

HE REFLECTED ON HIS TIME AT W-L-O-S BACK IN THE LATE 19-80'S... AND THE JOY OF ANCHORING WITH DARCEL GRIMES.
