He died!? Wow. That's completely shocking. He's been there for a very long time and its sad that his illness over the last two months is what killed him. This is so awful.

 

I hope staffers from 'rival' stations can work for WKRC when the staffers can attend his private funeral services, whenever that happens. It would be very respecting and amazement for other stations to do for WKRC in this very shocking time.

 

Anyways, RIP to one of Cincy's great weathermans because he truly died, doing what he loved.

Melanie Dotson, a reporter with WJTV in Jackson, MS, passed away Friday. Some unconfirmed reports have mentioned she went to a Jackson hospital earlier in the week with chest pains and was told it was anxiety. She joined WJTV 12 in April 2016 and was born in nearby Brandon.

WXYZ personality John Kelly has died at 88. He started at WJBK in 1965 and went to WXYZ in 1970 and spent the 70's alongside Bill Bonds as the original anchor pairing for Action News. He also hosted the talk shows Kelly & Co. from the mid 80's to mid 90's and Good Afternoon Detroit in the early 80's, both on Channel 7.

He was a fine man, and had many friends. He will be missed.

Longtime New York reporter Dick Oliver has died. He last worked at WNYW.

The same Dick Oliver lampooned by Bill Hader as "Herb Welch" on SNL several years ago...

 

The original incident...

...and the parody... (which unfortunately I can't seem to embed)

Very sad news out of Savannah. WTOC morning news anchor Don Logana was killed in a car wreck early this morning. This is now the third WTOC male news anchor to die in the last decade. Steven Shoob died in 2008 in a car accident on I-95; Mike Manhatton succumbed to cancer two years ago, and now this.

 

Prayers to him, his family and for that TV station.
