Dasher & Dancer…Harvey & Albert?
Meet Harvey the Hippo and Albert the Alley Cat, just two of Santa’s unheralded helpers. Over the next few weeks, we’re going to share some of the forgotten ghosts of Christmas past.. We’ll be celebrating records from around the world that show the other side of the holiday and highlighting the non-traditional. That’s what we do.

Albert the Alley Cat was a Milwaukee area puppet on TV6 (WITI). I’m not sure but it may have been a CBS affiliate then and is a FOX now.

After a bit of research I discovered that Albert the Alley Cat was the reason that the station lost it’s AWS certification in the 70’s. It seems having a puppet give the weather forecast was not as cool to the powers that be as it was to me at the age of 8.
