Video Vault: Happy Birthday Morning Exchange and Fred Griffith
CLEVELAND - Forty years ago, the Morning Exchange (the MX, as we called it) hit Cleveland’s morning airwaves, changing local TV.
Fred Griffith was not the show’s first host -- that honor belonged to radio talker Alan Douglas -- but Griffith made the show and format his own.
Fred took over as the "temporary" host after Douglas left for New York just six months after the show debuted January 3, 1972. Fred would remain with the show through the end of its run in September 1999.
Ironically, Fred’s birthday is also January 3, but a few years earlier – 1929. Fred hosted the show as the guy he was, a regular guy from West Virginia and the audience loved him.
“Not only is Fred exceedingly bright and exceedingly warm and exceedingly honest – there’s not one pretentious bone in that guy’s body,” said Bob Seeley.
