"Hickory Hideout"

My general idea for this blog was that it would focus on national shows and movies where NE Ohio pops up. "Hickory Hideout," which a reader asked about, was originally a local show for WKYC, then went national via NBC-owned stations, so it's worth some discussion here. ("Big 5 Show"/"Upbeat" would qualify as well, done locally but distributed nationally.) Wayne Turney, one of the people behind the show, has posted his memories of "Hickory Hideout" on his Web site. You can find the info here.
