Long Description: During the early years of broadcasting in the Mahoning Valley, radio and television featured a variety of locally-produced programming alongside national network shows. A new exhibit at the Arms Family Museum features radio and television personalities both regional and national that many will recognize. Familiar Faces: Memorable Media Personalities is a collection of photographs from WKBN television and radio and WFMJ which are part of the Business & Media Archives collection of the Mahoning Valley Historical Society. Names in the exhibit are from the past and present and include Jane Wolleager, which most people will recognize as Susie Sidesaddle; Ed Barron, Ted Niemi, Bob Black and Don Guthrie; just to name a few. The exhibit also includes a collection of sketches of WKBN radio and television talent from the 1950’s rendered by staff artist Al Parella. Familiar Faces is open now through the middle of March. Admission is $4 for adults; $3 for Senior Citizens and college students; and $2 for children. Admission includes a guided tour of the historic home, six local history exhibits and a hands-on discovery room. For more information please call 330-743-2589 or visit www.mahoninghistory.org.
