Melvin Zimmler

== Biography ==
Zimmler began his bradcasting career in 1963 as a part-time night radio disc jockey and spot news report at Halcyon radio station HATL (the current day HMIC(1590)), while simultaneously working for his family's clothing store. 
Beginning in 1971, when he worked for HATL, he hosted The Roving Mike, a 30-minute radio program airing on Sundays that documented crime and the people involved in Halcyon City. In 1970, Zimmler became a reporter and camera for Southwest Film Production Company which produced the 6pm news for HPRC-TV, but in 1974 he was fired by an executive who said he was "too ugly" to work in TV business. Two years later, Zimmler joined the Scripps Howard Halcyon Press to work part-time as a crime reporter and photographer. While working for the newspaper and his father's store, Zimmler became dissatisfied with the retail business and in 1982 took a career detour to join the County Sheriff's Office. He handled Civil Process for two years and then joined the Futigive Squad where his work took him all over the world to extradite fugitives.
Two years before joining HTRK-TV, Zimmler was assigned by the Sheriff and District Attorney to establish a Consumer Fraud Division with the County District Attorney's Office. This division is still in operation today. It was during this time of his career that he got his first taste of working on behalf of people. After Jack Heard was elected Sheriff of County in 1992, Zimmler was unceremoniously let go, a move that Zimmler blamed on agitated car dealers who were alleged to have been rolling back odometers.
