east-tx-tv 105 Posted February 19 Share Posted February 19 (edited) A sad day at KXAS. Bobbie Wygant, who was a lifestyle/entertainment reporter, host, and even commercial pitch person back to the station's earliest days as WBAP, has passed. Bobbie had her own daytime midday show called Dateline for many years. She participated in the local Jerry Lewis telethon segments for several of the years that KXAS carried the telethon. She had a longer presence in Dallas-Fort Worth media than anyone else. Bobbie was 97, and will be missed. https://www.nbcdfw.com/news/local/trailblazing-nbc-5-reporter-bobbie-wygant-dies-at-97/3466101/ https://www.bobbiewygant.com Edited February 19 by east-tx-tv Link to story finally available to add 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JosiahCubed 239 Posted May 10 Share Posted May 10 I’m watching KTLA’s livestream right now. It’s heartbreaking hearing about this. They’ve had celebrities and fellow entertainment journalists that knew him on the phone to talk and reminisce. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MediaZone4K 1529 Posted May 10 Share Posted May 10 This is shocking. He's just one of those faces that you're just used to so the fact that he's gone now just feels wrong. RIP 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jerseyfla 196 Posted May 10 Share Posted May 10 This is shocking and sad. I admittedly hadn't watched the KTLA Morning News in probably 16 years since I dropped Dish Network who had a Superstations package but Sam Rubin was a reporter who didn't go too "tabloidy" with his entertainment reporting something ET and Access Hollywood has fallen into instead of reporting Entertainment news straight. RIP Sam. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KnoxvilleTVFanDerrick 3 Posted May 10 Share Posted May 10 I am currently watching the live coverage on KTLA+ via my Roku smart TV and it is a devastating loss, because Sam was KTLA and one of the best entertainment reporters in the world. My thoughts and prayers go out to his family. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Georgie56 3067 Posted May 11 Share Posted May 11 He used to do the entertainment report on WGN Morning News' 8am hour a long time ago. This stings a lot. He's an entertainment reporting legend. RIP. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
