stevieboy247 42 Posted July 30, 2007 Share Posted July 30, 2007 Wow, I'm in shock. I best recognized him when he used to host the "Late Late Show". Such a great guy and he will be missed. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WAVY 10 Fan 232 Posted July 30, 2007 Share Posted July 30, 2007 Sad to hear that. He also hosted, among other things, the Tomorrow Show (I am listening online to American Family Radio as I type this and heard them mention his death) and anchored at WABC (I'm not sure if he worked elsewhere) in the early 1980's. It's been a pretty sad week for those interested in TV news (KGO's Pete Wilson passing, the tragic helicopter crash in Phoenix, and now Tom Snyder).

WCAUTVNBC10 408 Posted July 30, 2007 Share Posted July 30, 2007 Snyder was one of the pioneer anchors of the Eyewitness News format when KYW first birthed it back in the 60s. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We also just lost NFL Hall of Fame coach Bill Walsh. I have the story posted in the "Breakroom". Man, this week in TV News has gone from bad to worse.

What does Bill Walsh have to do with TV News? maybe he spoke to the media while he was coaching? he was part of the family. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mbhcity 3 Posted July 31, 2007 Share Posted July 31, 2007 This is definitely the worst week in television journalism in America. First Pete Wilson, then the Phoenix news copter colision, then Marvin Zindler, and now Tom Snyder. It's been very tough for the folks at ABC Television. My condolences. All we are hearing now is about death. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AceHawk447 17 Posted July 31, 2007 Share Posted July 31, 2007 My condolences go out to those who knew and/or watched the figures we lost over the past week...I'll have to concur, what a sad week it's been for those like us who follow the TV news scene. :'( Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
