| TV MUSEUM WILL DOUBLE IN SIZE, $100,000 GIFT ALLOWS GROWTH Dolores Tropiano The Arizona Republic May 17, 2003 SCOTTSDALE - Walter Cronkite's pipe collection and memorabilia from Channel 5's long running Wallace & Ladmo show will have a bit more breathing space thanks to a substantial contribution to the House of Broadcast in Scottsdale. Jack Clifford, one of the first faces on Phoenix TV, has donated $100,000 to the museum. The donation will help to more than double the size of the museum. "My hope is to make it a museum of real significance," said Clifford, who was hired by Channel 3 in the 1950's as the first sports anchor in the Valley. He later worked in sales and management at Channel 12, became president and CEO of a division of the Providence Journal Co. and helped create the "Food Network." The House of Broadcast holds 2,000 pieces of radio and TV history in a 1,950-square-foot facility on the second floor of Anthony's Gifts, 7150 E. 5th Ave. The museum educates visitors about the evolution of TV and radio in the Valley. An expanded facility would allow space for hundreds of display pieces that are in storage. Mary Morrison, president of the museum, said the contribution marks the beginning of a building fund. "Our goal is to establish a 5,000-square-foot permanent home for our radio and television memorabilia museum," she said. The House of Broadcasting was established seven years ago, as a display window in the former Chris-Town mall, and later moved to Scottsdale. |
