DETROIT, Sept. 22 /PRNewswire/ -- Noted Detroit journalist Tim Kiska will
talk about his new book, "Soupy to Nuts: A history of Detroit Television,"
celebrating the heyday of television in the Motor City at a Women In

television, dish about the celebrities and share juicy behind the scenes
stories. From Soupy Sales, Bill Kennedy, and Dick the Bruiser, to Sonny

written to keep alive memories of such programs as The George Pierrot Show, a
travel show, and The Sagebrush Shorty Show, a children's program.
The cost is $25 for Women In Communications members and students, $35 for
