Broadcasting Legend Stan Chambers Visits the HB Library

From correspondent Chris MacDonald:

TomstanOn Friday, April 25th, famous LA TV journalist Stan Chambers spoke to a packed crowd at the Huntington Beach Central Library about his exciting new book KTLA's News at Ten - 60 Years With Stan Chambers.

He talked about his amazing career in broadcasting, which included "breaking" the Rodney King beating story that shocked the nation. The multiple Emmy Award-winning reporter has covered more than 22,000 stories for the same TV station, since 1947.

Huntington Beach and other southern Californians thoroughly enjoyed chatting with Stan about things like how he was a member of their families since he watched them daily throughout their lives. The cordial gentleman glowed with enthusiasum while sharing their Stanchambersrecollections. He's a nice and professional gentleman  -- no matter how you spell it. 

In his fascinating new book, you'll read Tom Brokaw's heartwarming comments about Stan, the funny story of how grandson Jaime Chambers ended up as a KTLA newsman and many incredible stories that made national headlines.
