The name Al Sanders will NEVER be forgotten around these parts.

Grew up watching Al and Jerry. They WERE Baltimore. Miss them both.

there will never again be an anchor team as great as Al Sanders and Jerry Turner.

As a kid Al and Jerry were the news to me. I think watching them has made me so inquisitive today. They always will be Baltimore's team.

I was blessed to live in DC to see Gordon Peterson and Max Robinson and then watch Jerry Turner and Al Sanders in Baltimore. Two legendary news teams!!

I remember the passing of Al like it was yesterday, 14 at the time watching TV when they reported his death and i cried like a baby. It was like losing a love one 😢 Al touched the hearts of so many Baltimorians young and older and he will truly be missed but never forgotten🙏🙏

Best News team in the world, I remember watching Jerry and Al every day as a child, my dad used to watch only Channel 13 and I watch it today with my son, It's a 3 generation channel with my family, Channel 11 and Channel 2 can't compete. I miss them everyday they rocked as a news force and I know thier rocking the news force in heaven. Forever in heart and In mind

It was definitely a hit to the city..... I salute wjz 13 they've always been very down-to-earth

Jerry and AL were the best in baltimore ever had. I know O was here too.

I watched him every morning while eating breakfast before school I was very young when he died, great memory of Jerry Turner and Al Sanders....

There never be another Jerry Turner and Al Sanders RIP. When I get to heaven. I will be watching ur news coverage there

Al Sanders was the Goat! I remember this. I was a kid but loved the WJZ line up. Bob Turk was my fav too

Loved his voice even as a little girl. That was genuine and these new reporters don't have half the heart al and Jerry had

This newscast was 2 weeks before I was born! And I was born in Baltimore! That's pretty cool.

these guys were legends in baltimore.............

I remember being 6 years old when I saw this, and I will never forget his broadcasts.

what a tribute! Jerry and Al..the best news team.

i'm from baltimore and i felt hurt when he died a year before baltimore got the ravens i think if he were still alive he'd be a die hard ravens fan

Al Sanders and Jerry Turner were just the best. Miss watching those two.

I vividly remember the night this aired. As soon as I saw the clip of him at the start of the newscast, I burst into tears. I knew before they announced it that he was gone. Jerry Turner and Al Sanders was a part of my childhood. I loved watching the news because of them. I felt so bad for the cast, especially Denise because she was extremely close to him. This year marks 20 years since he's been gone. The news hasn't been the same since. RIP Al. You are missed. :-(

Your a kind man to share a story in trying to save people's lives, you really should be proud of what you tried to do, thank you.

Thanks for putting this up. It really made me cry.

Man ole man…I remember those days…Al Sanders, Jerry Turner, Bob Turk, Marty Bass Denise Koch and my favorite sports caster who passed away when I was a teenager…Randy Blair I love WJZ I grew up on them Also Oprah, Don Scott…there are more drawing a blank on Oprah’s partners name from “People are Talking”

I was only 11 when he died and still remember this.

wow RIP both AL and Jerry!! NIck And Wylie and the one and only Randy!

HARD TO BELIEVE!! 29 YEARS THIS PAST MAY OF 2024 SINCE AL SANDERS DIED!! I,m a 43 year resident of Baltimore MD since 1981 at age 9!! grew up with everybody from all 3 channels!! RIP!! JERRY TURNER(1929-1987) & AL SANDERS(1941-1995)😢😢😢😢😢

Wow... talk about childhood memories. Al Sanders was the speaker at my Howard County high school graduation in 1985. Of course I don't remember much of what he actually said (LOL) but I do remember that his delivery was eloquent and he came across as someone who actually gave a damn about what would happen to us snot-nosed kids as we aged. RIP, Mr. Sanders.

With Bob Turk now retiring, I am finally starting to feel truly old.

I remember watching this. I was 15. Seems like yesterday. Even Don Scott is retired now but Denise Koch is still there.

I remember at the 11 news they would say something that was news but really funny) I was a busboy at the time hope I got home in time to watch it

I remember when Al left the station . There was a billboard on the Jones Falls expressway by the old London Fog building saying good bye to him . Old memories

Really enjoyed this. I directed newscasts at WJZ in 1974 with Al, Jerry, (Wylie Daniels), Bob Turk and Nick Charles. What a team.

this is awesome. I grew up with them. This was real reporting and real local journalism before the sensationalism.

Seeing this is what real news was

Al was a class act.

Al is the king of Baltimore Journalism.

guys like this are gone, forever. :(

Al.sanders.will.be.missed.

Wonder if the video clip of him saying "Ocean Shitty" by accident on the air is floating around somewhere? Bob Turk and Denise Koch couldn't stop laughing that night. May have been one of the greatest evening news broadcasts ever.

Don't forget Oprah Winfrey, she has become a Legendary Talk show host due to WJZ in baltimore.

you could trust them no bullshit I just started at my first job when the bar died when Jerry died, but as a kid had to watch their send off at 10.28 pm

@TheLimpwristed Yep, I'm a native Baltimorian and I live in Texas now, I did not even know that Al was gone until I saw this.

One of a kind.

Al and Jerry FTW!

There will be another like him.

I remember food runs when I worked at DeNittis in Little Italy he was so nice [He would bitch that it was his turn for carryout] with a laugh

Al and jerry was the voices that did the buddha's work.

Where can i get a copy of this tape? If anyone has the address please let me know.

👍nice video, nice channel.subbed

What was the song that began playing at 2:59?

I saw Al Sanders up close in the 2200 blk of east Fayette St back around 1981.He was doing some kind of special.His skin is much lighter in person,it kinda threw me off because he looks darker on TV.Maybe it was make up!

Does anyone know the name of the song that’s playing at 5:46?

after that it was all down hill, TV hill that is ! lol...rip AL

I kinda remember the food runs to carryout in DeNittis in little Italy (I has like 16 yrs old) so nice in person he was) he was one of the first stars I met in person and that team even at my age had to watch them I guess they could tell the real news but say something funny about anything (did they invent the Daily Show, Corbert Report etc. years before

Dale un besito princesa

Al sanders was a voice that did the buddha's work.
