cbs2newengland 71 Posted September 25, 2014 Share Posted September 25, 2014 Wow...I thought it was the actor from "Mad Men", but nonetheless my condolences to his family. When I saw that John Slattery trend a while back, I thought it was something like today's story with the WCBS' John. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NYNewsCoverage 259 Posted September 25, 2014 Share Posted September 25, 2014 CBS 2 had a great tribute to John, with Dana Tyler reporting on all that he did, the stories he reported on, and his dry humor that could NOT be copied in any way, shape, or form. I like how CBS 2 had a little moment of silence at the end of the first block of the 5pm newscast. It was really a perfect tribute.

BricklayCBS 1 Posted September 25, 2014 Share Posted September 25, 2014 I never really expected this. I see him and he just seems to show up and does his regular reporting, Never really noticed because I don't get WCBS. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cbs2newengland 71 Posted September 26, 2014 Share Posted September 26, 2014 I saw the 6:00 version as well as the 5:00 and noon. I had to distract myself by looking at the lovely graphics WCBS used in the early 90s because I started to tear up. Kristine just lost it before and after Dana's package. Apparently he filed a story yesterday and now he's gone. I guess that's how heart attacks can occur, I've wondered if he had prior health problems. Anyways its a sad day in the NY media Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nbcnewyork2014 0 Posted September 26, 2014 Author Share Posted September 26, 2014 Dana and Kristine appeared emotional throughout the newscasts they did tonight. Must be a real shock for Dana to work with John for 24 years for him to just suddenly be gone. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He was just a couple of days away from turning 64 and days from his 30th anniversary month with WCBS-TV. Previously he spent a few years as a reporter on NY City's WABC Channel 7 Eyewitness News. He was a good reporter and will be missed. Condolences go out to his family. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
