WKRC announced the death of Tim Hedrick.

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.

It was not a car crash, by the way. She fell off a waterfall ledge-- one that I've visited before.

I wish his grandchildren well, because he left a legacy with his involvement in the education system (his group makes textbooks for schools)

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.
