25 YEARS AND COUNTING !!!

    August, 1982.

   That's when I began covering Utah.

   And this week I'm celebrating my 25th anniversary.

   As my good friend, Nicea DeGering once said, "Chris, it's either your destiny or

   density to be here so long."

    In honor of this milestone, ABC 4 News will be airing a special two hour

"On the Record."

  It will run Sunday, August 12th, from 11 am to 1pm.

  The first hour will be the Vanocur political Group.

  Among many issues, the Group will talk about the Salt Lake mayor's race

and Mitt Romney's presidential campaign.

  As for the second hour...

  In honor of this 25th anniversary, we will air what we're calling a

"Greatest Hits" show. This will include some of the more memorable stories

and a few that maybe I would like to forget.

  Among others, will be the first story I did on my family and the Holocaust.

  Also, naturally, there will be some political pieces - some funny, some not.

  And, of course, there will be the spoof on the Paris Hilton hamburger commerical,

plus the emmy nominated "Christmas Tree Story" and, finally, me yelling at

turkeys. 

So, if you get a chance, tune in Sunday,  August 12th, from 11 am to 1 pm.

As the Grateful Dead sang, "What a long, strange trip it's been."

Until my next blog, I will be in the political backroom.
