Timeline
In autumn of 2011, the Fizz Soda and Candy Shop, located in Portland, created, and are still adding to, a shrine to Ramblin' Rod. KPTV donated his microphone and an original Ramblin' Rod button to the shrine.
Each year, Anders helped anchor local KPTV coverage of the Jerry Lewis MDA Telethon and the Easter Seals Telethon. He served as a moderator on a Saturday morning public affairs show called 12 in the Morning and appeared in many advertisements for Mike Salta Pontiac and Beaverton Toyota, two local automobile dealerships. Anders also served as one of KPTV's in-house studio announcers for many years. Anders retired from KPTV in August 1997.
In 1994, Anders constructed the Apple Valley Airport on land near his log cabin home in Buxton, Oregon, west of Portland. During his retirement, he enjoyed flying and spending time with his family. Anders died in May, 2002 after succumbing to a stroke suffered while making a personal appearance at a Portland Volunteers of America Thrift Store located at 181st and Division streets, now defunct.
While working for KPOJ, Anders heard of an opening for a host on a local children's show called Popeye's Pier 12 on KPTV. He replaced host Bob Adkins (better known as "Addie Bobkins"). In the early 1970s, the show was renamed The Ramblin' Rod Show.
By the late 1970s, Anders had begun to wear message buttons on his cardigan, all of which were given to him by fans. Within a few years, his cardigan was almost completely covered. At one point, the host estimated that he had received 10,000 to 15,000 buttons.
In the 1970s and '80s, Smile contest winners and children celebrating their birthdays were entitled to complimentary Homer Pies, Archway brand cookies and Pop Shoppe soda pop.
Anders grew up in Multnomah County, Oregon and was born at St. Vincent's Hospital. He began his career in radio broadcasting in the 1950s, singing and playing music on Saturday mornings for Tillamook radio station KTIL. He stayed with KTIL until he was drafted into the armed forces, where he served as a radio repairman. When his tenure was up, he returned to radio, filling on-air positions beginning in 1958 at KFLW in Klamath Falls, Oregon and continuing to KXL and KPOJ.
Ramblin' Rod Anders (November 26, 1932 – May 11, 2002), born Rodney Carl Andersen, was an American television presenter and the host of The Ramblin' Rod Show, a morning children's television program in Oregon, from 1964 until his retirement on August 8, 1997. The KPTV host was well known locally for his iconic, button-covered sweater which he wore on air.
