AL ALBERTS DIED

I was sad to hear about the death of Philadelphia television legend Al Alberts, who died at the age of 87 Friday at his home in Florida.

The Al Alberts Showcase ran for decades on Channel 6.

It’s been a noteworthy year for Channel 6 with the death of Gary Papa, the move out of the old building on City Line Avenue, the upcoming retirement of Dave Roberts, and the death of Alberts.

In another 6ABC tidbit, Michael Klein reported that 6ABC is not renewing the contract of weekend weather anchor Erica Grow at the end of the year. I was surprised. She seemed like she was doing a competent job.
