By Steve CrumKansas City TV’s Dr. N. Ventor (Murray Nolte) sets the gears on his Idea Box. His local kids show was popular during the 1950’s on WDAF-TV’s Channel 4 (when it was owned by NBC). The good doctor puttered among his inventions, gave us light humor, and showed cartoons from Paramount Studios. He also had a tall robot, Oom-a-gog.
Nolte also announced for the station, did commercials, and was eventually elected Mayor of Merriam, Kansas…in Greater Kansas City. He died in 2001.
