In addition to “Perspective,” Ms. Munich was the producer of the popular Saturday-night programs, “Prime Time” and “Visions.” She retained overview of these shows and others, such as “Inside Story” when she became head of Public Affairs in 1990. She was the first to introduce politics as public affairs programming and produced several debates ranging from local councils to the President of the United States. Prior to WPVI, Ms. Munich was in the Public Affairs, Promotions, and Business departments of WKBS-TV, Channel 48, and was also active in community affairs

| There's a nice, huge story on the Time Magazine website about Philadelphia Television in the Fifties. It mentions our website and draws from our material. Author Richard Corliss refers to this site as "invaluable...a trove of early TV memories for Delaware Valley nostalgiaholics." |
