  1. I remember Capt’n Sac’to. I watched him in the afternoon after school. He flew in and landed on a carrier. It was my favorite cartoon show.

  2. I WAS VERY YOUNG BUT WAS ON THE GAME SHOW WITH OTHER KIDS ON MY BLOCK. I won a Hot wheels track with car and my sister was on there with me! Captian delta kids game show. The girl down the street was on with her brother and they won cases of Pepsi!! Wonder if they still have any tape of the old show??

  3. I thought some had the answer. I know he lived in Orangevale. In about 1966 I was team mates with his son Chris Agress in Orangevale little league. The team was called the missiles. Why I’m making this inquiry I don’t know, I just started thinking about him.

    F.Y.I. The Cartoonland Show with Cap’n Delta was a six day morning and afternoon show including Saturday.
    It was dropped due to competition from “Sesame Street” which was also an expensive network children’s show.

    Thanks Dave for the memory. The last and most dynamic Cap’n Delta, Jim Keating is still living in Stockton. Jim did it from 1969 through 1973. He spent 20 years with channel 13 as an announcer, director, producer and on air personality.

    it was a kid program where 5 kids sat on a bench, I was one of those kids, I won the case of pepsimy whole neighborhood was included. I would like to know where that old footage is,and can we see it?

  7. And why did he disappear over night from channel 13 where he was Captain Delta to be replaced the next day with a new Captain Delta without any explanation only to resurface several months later on channel 40 as Cap’n Mitch when it came on the air? Don’t you guys think the Captain’s Locker segment was a little strange? Don’t you remember the Cap’n Mitch would always say “You can never tell what you saw in the Captain’s Locker.”? He would go in there with a kid, there would be the roaring sounds while the camera shook and when the door opened the kid and the captain came out of there, the kid would be holding a prize and Cap’n Mitch would be repeating to the kid, “Now remember, you can never tell what you saw in The Captain’s Locker”. Highly suspect in my opinion.

    Mitch Agress quit as Cap’n Delta because he wasn’t allowed to make outside public appearances The name Cap’n Delta was copywrited and owned by Mc Clatchy Publishing. After about a year or so he appeared on Channel 40 as Captain Mitch.

  10. There were 3 of them. It WAS a morning show and they are all still alive. The first one was Mitch Agruss (later to be known as Cap’n Mitch on Channel 40, then later on 58). When Mitch left KOVR, the next Cap’n Delta was Charlie Duncan. When he left, the third and final Cap’n Delta was Jim Keating. Both Mitch and Jim act in local area theaters. Charlie is retired and I see him every other month at the “Broadcasting Legends” meeting. I was a guest on Cap’n Delta in December 1968 with Mr. Duncan as the Cap’n.

  11. Thank you Ron and all the rest of you. I remember he had a red beard and hair. Am I right? we didn’t get a color TV until Jan 1st in 1969. So all my memories are just from little league. We played most of our games at Roberts or Andrew Carnegie Jr. high. Boy that was a long time ago. Thanks again for all your help.

  12. Wasn’t Harry Martin the first Captain but his name was Captain Sacto?
