Remembering "The Sportsman Show"

In 1958, with local television in its infancy, The Sportsman Show began its successful run on WTHI-TV. With its popular and knowledgeable hosts, Jack Ennis and Jack Kerins, the show became a real boon to the outdoorsman and would continue to be seen throughout the Wabash Valley for the next twenty years, moving eventually to WTWO-Ch2. The last show was done in September of 1978, but many still remember it.
