TexasTVNews 1379 Posted July 21, 2007 Posted July 21, 2007 Shot at 2007-07-21 Pete was an Icon in the San Francisco Bay Area for more than a two decades, I was honored and had the privilege to speak to Pete in February of 2000 while he was a KRON 4 (Then NBC) and he told me that he enjoyed working with the best people in the Bay Area and inviting him into their homes for more than 20 years and trusted him for the latest news coverage they deserve. I don't know how many years he's been on television in the Bay Area, but I know in my mind that he's a San Francisco legend. I remember seeing him at KGO-TV with Susan Gregory, Pete Giddings and the Channel 7 News team in the 1980's and 90's before moving to KRON 4 in 1990. All in the Bay Area are going to miss Pete, and the truth of the matter is that we want to get in television news is because we admire our favorite anchors, Pete Wilson was on of them. He was an icon by hand without breaking the mold, he was unique, they'll never be another broadcasting legend or a communicator like Pete Wilson. All of us at TVNewsTalk offer our thoughts, prayers, and condolences to his wife and family, and his extended family at KGO-TV-AM and KRON-TV. Rest in Peace Pete Wilson, We all love you and miss you. :'(
mbhcity 3 Posted July 22, 2007 Posted July 22, 2007 Whoa...this is so surprising...Very very sad news. I am from Southern California and I only began to here about anchors like Pete through the internet. Were it not for this powerful tool and the several trips to the Bay Area, I would not have encountered this powerful, authoritative, yet down to earth journalist. Thanks Pete, It's been a good ride.
NewsRadioFan07 0 Posted July 22, 2007 Posted July 22, 2007 OH NO! :'( wow! i acualy shed a tear right now, that is so sad. RIP Pete Wilson THE best anchor in the morning
WAVY 10 Fan 233 Posted July 22, 2007 Posted July 22, 2007 What exactly happened, because his death sounds pretty sudden?
Oliverolang 41 Posted July 23, 2007 Posted July 23, 2007 How could a routine hip replacement operation lead to a massive heart attack?
A3N 1002 Posted July 23, 2007 Posted July 23, 2007 How could a routine hip replacement operation lead to a massive heart attack? Maybe a drop of his heart rate? Heavy sedation? who knows, until an autopsy is done there will be no definite answers. Just speculation.
mbhcity 3 Posted July 23, 2007 Posted July 23, 2007 He had a clogged artery and this complicated the surgery.
yoty79 0 Posted July 23, 2007 Posted July 23, 2007 I remember Pete from his early days with WTMJ-TV, hosting his Sunday night interview show "The Making Of..." An interesting talent, even back in those days. To put it in modern southeastern Wisconsin perspective, Pete was Gousha, before Gousha was Gousha. He was good.
stevieboy247 43 Posted July 23, 2007 Posted July 23, 2007 Pete Wilson, A true broadcast icon and legend. May god bless you.
