he was press secretary to gov david hall
Ed Hardy was more than Governor Hall's Press Secretary. He was a veteran of the US Marines where he received his formal training in journalism as a Public Information Officer from 1954 to 1957. From 1957 to 1960 he worked in the San Francisco bureau of United Press International. In 1960 he returned to his native Michigan. By 1964, he was the news director at WXYZ, the ABC affiliate in Detroit. In late 1964, he accepted the same position with WABC radio in New York. Over the next five years he travelled and filed radio and television reports from South Vietnam, Paris, and the Peoples Republic of China that were seen and heard throughout the English speaking world. In 1969, after questioning the continuing journalistic integrity of the ABC network, he was quit, or was fired, depending on who tells the story. He settled in Oklahoma City with his family that now included his wife and four kids. There he served as news director of WKY radio and it was during the next 3 years that he was on the radio every morning playing the straight guy to Danny Williams. During this time he was instrumental in giving Entertainment Tonights Mary Hart her first job in broadcasting where she eventually co-hosted Danny Williams mid day variety show "Dannys Day." In 1972, Governor Hall hired him to be the gubenatorial press secretary. In 1973, he was right in the middle of the Big Mac Prison Riot and was among the first Americans to visit the Soviet Union. When Governor Hall lost his re-election bid in 1974, Hardy went to work as the Chief of Staff for Tulsa Congressman James Jones. His son was an All Mid-State football player at OC Marshall. In 1981, he moved briefly to California, then moved back to Tulsa in 1983 where he died in 1986.

Yes it was. NFL home games--playoff games included---were routinely blacked out in the early 70's, causing congress to pass a law requiring sold out games to be shown in their home markets. I remember listening to this game on the radio. It was videotaped and played on local TV that night.
