Blast from the Past: Danny Treanor back in 1977

Roger Simmons, January 22, 2013

danny-treanor-77Mobile-Pensacola Fox affiliate WALA-Channel 10 celebrated its 60th anniversary on Jan. 14.

The station posted a lot of old photos on a Facebook account, and there was a familiar face in the gallery showing station folks from 1977. It was longtime Orlando weatherman Danny Treanor.
