RHINELANDER - Newswatch 12 turned 50 this year, but it's actually lucky the station made it past year two.
A tragic accident in 1968 knocked the station off the air for nearly a year, and William Anderson was one of the two that lived through it.
"It's a quite a story," said Anderson.
At 93-years-old, some of his memories may have faded, but there's one he'll never forget.
