Aziza Shuler, our keynote speaker, is the weekend anchor and weekday reporter for CBS News Philadelphia. She is an Emmy award-winning journalist who believes everyone has a story, and she's most passionate about giving a voice to the underdogs, forgotten, and overlooked people in our communities. Aziza began her career in Yuma, where she learned the power of humanizing the news. Aiziza attributes her grit and confidence as a journalist to her childhood in Washington, D.C. where she overcame her time in the foster care system, inspiring her to become a role model and mentor. Aziza graduated with a B.S. in Communications from St. John's University in New York.

OUR MAIN SECTIONS
There's a nice, huge story on the Time Magazine website about Philadelphia Television in the Fifties. It mentions our website and draws from our material. Author Richard Corliss refers to this site as "invaluable...a trove of early TV memories for Delaware Valley nostalgiaholics." |

Once you download the latest free player, you still may be required to download older codes for everything to work. Some of our older files of our audio and video rolls.
