The Ledger Dispatch is proud to announce a Facebook premiere broadcast of "Weeknight" as it appeared on KCRA in 1983 occurring on Sunday at 5 p.m. Kevin Collins uncovered a VHS tape of "Weeknight" featuring over twenty minutes of footage as KCRA focused on the town of Jackson. We, in turn, spent time cleaning up the footage as best we could, digitalized it — and thanks to the generousity of KCRA 3, have the opportunity to share the amazing footage with you this Sunday, June 16, 2019, at 5 p.m. Here's a little of what you will see this Sunday, in a special segment on former Ledger Dispatch Publisher, Babe Garbarini and a walk down memory lane.
