In February of 1996, the plug was pulled on WAKC-TV, or as the locals know it, TV23. In those 25 years, many Akron residents still fondly remember the days when the city had a television station.

Mark Williamson has worked for Mayor Don Plusquellic and is now the communications director at Akron Public Schools, but prior to those jobs, he was a news anchor at TV-23. He joined the Ray Horner Morning Show to remember the days of 23, why the station did not survive, and why Akronites continue missing having that option for news nearly three decades later.
