PelicanGuy 117 Posted August 17, 2019 Share Posted August 17, 2019 (edited) Yes, this is terrible news. Nancy was beloved in the New Orleans and Baton Rouge areas. I remember her from her WAFB days, too...even met her at the SWAC basketball tournament back in the mid-1990s when the tournament was held at the Baton Rouge Centroplex. She was a very down-to-earth person...very nice. My condolences to her husband Glynn Boyd, their kids and their extended family.

I feel that way too but I'm going back on-topic.

WAVY 10 Fan 232 Posted September 17, 2019 Share Posted September 17, 2019 And off the heels of the loss of Cokie Roberts, it's being reported that former NBC and ABC correspondent Sander Vanocur has passed away at 91. https://abcnews.go.com/Entertainment/wireStory/veteran-television-newsman-sander-vanocur-dies-91-65675917 Among the things Sander was known for would include being a panelist on the first Kennedy-Nixon debate and being the last surviving member of the "Four Horsemen", as NBC used to call their 1960s convention floor quartet of Vanocur, Frank McGee, John Chancellor and Edwin Newman.

TexasTVNews 1366 Posted November 24, 2019 Share Posted November 24, 2019 It's now been a very sad weekend with the loss of two good news and sports legends; WNYT's Ed Dague and WHTM's Gregg Mace. They'll forever be called dedicated and trustworthy broadcasters in their own prime. Mace was Central Pennsylvania's popular sports director/anchor/reporter when it comes to Central PA's sports of all sorts for over 40 years. And Dague is the Capital Region's most trusted news anchor and reporter. From the halls of justice to everyday people in Albany, NY, breaking news, good news; Dague made a true difference in his 50+ years in to journalism. They'll never be another Gregg Mace and Ed Dague... They're forever and always legends in their prime. Mace and Dague are Central PA and Capital Region institutions, and they'll never be forgotten. Thoughts, prayers, and condolences are with the families of Ed Dague and Gregg Mace. RIP, Gregg and Edward... and Godspeed. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

tyrannical bastard 3442 Posted November 26, 2019 Share Posted November 26, 2019 Some sad news out of Cincinnati, as Elliott Block, the owner of "WKRP" has passed away. https://www.wvxu.org/post/wkrp-tv-station-owner-elliott-block-dies-71#stream/0 WBQC-LD has been known as "WKRP" for the last decade, capitalizing on the infamous sitcom about the easy listening station turned rock and roll. It was the original home of the WB, and switched to UPN after Sinclair dropped that network in favor of the WB. When the CW was launched, WKRC added it as a subchannel and WBQC returned to independence. It was always a station that tested their limits with coverage, launching a campaign to get a slot on Time Warner Cable, long before the retransmission boxing matches we have today. When DirecTV picked them up as a UPN affiliate, they did a parody of the Verizon "can you hear me now" commercial, using a guy and a satellite dish asking "can you see me now?" Even as an independent, it has been a repository of subchannels, with RTN replacing regular programming on the main channel in 2011. I don't know what the future holds for the station, unless he established a trust or heirs to run it. Up in Cleveland, W16DO, formerly W35AX was sold by Media-Com television to HC2 Holdings. Media-Com (the Klaus Family) still owns WNIR-FM, one of the longest running FM talk stations in the nation. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
