I remember this faintly. That was a sad day Al Sanders died. He was one of the greatest news anchors WJZ ever had.

I lived in DC but watched Jerry Turner and Al Sanders a lot on Channel 13. Great news duo!

My love for news, language and politics came from watching Denise Koch and Al Sanders every day after school. Al did not just speak with a sense of authority and honesty, he was capable of doing what many aspire to but few actually achieve: engendering trust. In that regard, and so many others, Al was a major influence on me and proof positive that not all television is bad for you. In fact, some of it can be a blessing.

I'm 26 y/o and I can say that I remember Al Sanders, but not as well as many of the faithful WJZ viewers though. I also remember, very well, the news of Al Sanders' passing. That was a sad day in Baltimore history. Everyone in the newsroom took it hard, and I remember Denise Koch being unable to get through her words, because it was such a great loss. I can say that I believe Al Sanders still lives through all of the newscasters! Thanks for posting this tribute!

Was so moving, i cried watching this tribute, and I hope that I can get a copy of this!!

How long has it been? I remember Denise Koch’s tribute to Al. I nearly cried then and I’m teary-eyed now. We’re in WA state now. I miss Maryland, I miss WJZ most of all, I miss Jerry and Al.

I cried watching this tribute.

i have the jerry turner tribute.. i really, really should put it on DVD... vhs can't last forever... would be a shame to lose it. i never recorded this one.. i should have also.

Yep, even in DC, the cable system allowed the Baltimore channels to air there. I would watch Al Sanders here, and Kent(?) Stovall on 2.

RIP

You have it up?

I'll find it. Where is fells point.
