BuffaloAnchorman.com is a tribute to Buffalo television in the 70s and early 80s as inspired by the recent hit movie The Anchorman. Big hair, flashy suits, and plenty of loud colors makes for a decade we all wish we could forget. |

Van Miller, seen here in at the Aud, was not only Channel 4's lead sports anchor, he also called NBA Braves games, NFL Bills games, NCAA Niagara Basketball games, and hosted Its Academic. After Chuck Healy retired, he also took over Beat the Champ. |
| As he was so busy, Van was rarely at his desk. Here is a rare shot of him there, no doubt making a call to Liberty Cab to make sure he gets the winning puck for the 11 o'clock Big Board Sports. | |

No fluff here, Dunkirk Native Alan Costantini is a newsman's news man, and was so at Channel 4 in the late 70s. |
