Wayyyyy back in the 1950s, a portly Gentleman by the name of Alon Bee
used to do the weather news at one of the Jackson tv stations.They used
to have somebody singing,,,,

The weatherrrr, the weatherrrr, whats it going to beeee, here is Reddy
Killowatt to show you on tee veeeee, is it going to rain or shine, or is
it going to snowww, here is Reddy Killowatt to put you in the
knowwww,,,,,,,

And if you sent the electric power company a snail mail, or called them
on the phone, they would send you a neat little free Reddy Killowatt pin
to wear on your shirt.The Reddy Killowatt pin was red and in the shape
of a lightning bolt.

At the end of each Alon Bee tv weather news, he would eat a spoon full
of Seale Lily ice cream.Seale Lily was one of their sponsors.
