A good point to note from the story on their website... rightfully so this move. Over the next few days, you may notice national news programs or syndicated programming in place of local news while ABC13 grieves our loss. 1 4 Link to comment https://localnewstalk.net/topic/18066-in-memoriam/page/29/#findComment-302263 Share on other sites More sharing options...

TheRolyPoly 2357 Posted December 27, 2024 Share Posted December 27, 2024 Oh wow. I'm saddened and stunned to learn of his passing. I agree with David when he said that you won't find a much finer gentleman in all of television than him. You gotta feel for Bryant too, man. He just lost a legendary brother. A truly sad day in the world of sports and in broadcasting in general. 2 1 Link to comment https://localnewstalk.net/topic/18066-in-memoriam/page/29/#findComment-302371 Share on other sites More sharing options...

Saw that tribute (it's on YouTube as well), and the part where it showed him in the studio on The Prudential College Football Report in 1989 had a better-quality version (in video) of that screencap I posted earlier (CBS must have had it in the archives, Greg's [IINM] first role there). 1 Link to comment https://localnewstalk.net/topic/18066-in-memoriam/page/29/#findComment-302380 Share on other sites More sharing options...

VHSgoodiesWA 303 Posted December 31, 2024 Share Posted December 31, 2024 Losing Aaron is a major loss to TV news. His first day at CNN was 9/11. The rest was history. Aaron was also part of a great team at KIRO in the late '80s - all reunited in the skies now (Harry Wappler and Wayne Cody). Very unique charisma and PROFESSIONAL on the air. He will be missed!! 4 1 Link to comment https://localnewstalk.net/topic/18066-in-memoriam/page/29/#findComment-302414 Share on other sites More sharing options...

norcalTVfan 13 Posted February 5 Share Posted February 5 1 hour ago, Big Rollo Smokes said: From Oakland: KTVU's Dennis Richmond has passed at age 82. Dennis Richmond was a prominent fixture not only in the Bay Area but throughout California. The Ten O’Clock news was widely available due to KTVU’s superstation status via cable and satellite. Even as the number of Fox affiliates grew in the west, most opted to simulcast KTVU’s popular Ten O’Clock news — at one time the most watched prime time newscast in the country. 1 1 1 Link to comment https://localnewstalk.net/topic/18066-in-memoriam/page/29/#findComment-303434 Share on other sites More sharing options...

But it doesn't matter the age... he was the TITAN, the GIANT of Bay Area TV news to the likes of Van Amburg and Dave McElhatton. I just woke up to this, and this one hurts badly. There will never be another one like him again. 2 2 Link to comment https://localnewstalk.net/topic/18066-in-memoriam/page/29/#findComment-303435 Share on other sites More sharing options...

From the article: Quote Originally from Mexico City, Manzano relocated to Topeka, Kansas, in 2018 and later earned a degree from Kansas State University. He was married to Ashleigh Boyd and had a daughter named Eleanor. Boyd died in a car crash last April. 5 Link to comment https://localnewstalk.net/topic/18066-in-memoriam/page/29/#findComment-303487 Share on other sites More sharing options...
