Last night I saw local celebrity, city councilman and host of TV's Great Day Tuscaloosa at Publix (the one campus). It got me thinking. A lot of people from Tuscaloosa know Kip as more than the man on Comcast Ch. 20 with the wicker set in the McFarland Mall.
   To people who grew up in Tuscaloosa, Kip is their James Spann. Kip was the man in Tuscaloosa TV.  He was THE weatherman at WCFT Channel 33. In the early 1980s, WCFT had the leading local newscast in western Alabama (with newscasts called "Eyewitness News")
