Perhaps the first-ever broadcast featuring Seattle grunge rock sensation Alice in Chains, produced while they were still post-high school teens sharing a cramped apartment.

This feature, airing on KING-5 News, was produced by Jack Hamann, George Stark and Diana Wilmar. It won an Emmy and was named the nation's best-edited feature of 1988 by the National Press Photographers Association (editor George Stark.) The band signed its first record contract shortly thereafter, and thanked the KING-TV crew in the credits of its first CD.
