Stan Chambers on KTLA's 60th

Just got back from Hollywood where legendary Channel 5 reporter Stan Chambers talked with me about citizen journalism and the Kathy Fiscus story that created live televison news coverage in L.A. When the four-year-old girl fell in a well here in 1949, KTLA stayed on the air for 27 hours. Melrose Larry Green, L.A.'s most famous political gadfly and former member of Howard Stern's "Wack Pack" also makes an appearance in the video.
