Ralph Story, former TV and radio journalist who is probably best known for hosting the CBS game show The $64,000 Challenge, died yesterday after a long battle with emphysema. He was 86.He hosted Challenge for two years, starting in 1956; the show was popular, but was cancelled in 1958 in the midst of the quiz show scandals of the time, where shows like Twenty-One and others were caught supplying answers to contestants. Story wasn't implicated, but he never went on to hosting another game show again, instead staying in local TV news, including hosting an L.A. morning news show that was a model for Good Morning America.
