Cincinnati TV legend Uncle Al dies

I have just learned that Al Lewis, who hosted the Cincinnati-based children's TV program 'The Uncle Al Show', has died at the age of 84.

I enjoyed 'The Uncle Al Show' when I was a small child, and Uncle Al appeared at Oktoberfest just a few years ago, as he played his accordion and sang for the crowd. His show aired on WCPO-TV from 1950 to 1985.

He was a broadcasting legend.
