This is not a local TV passing, I get that. But this shows how poignant and amazing and genuine this program is.

 

Unfortunately, Inside the NBA had to mourn the loss of one of its stagehands, Kevin Thomas, who was with the program for 30 years and was featured on the show in a number of skits. He was 70.

 

This was genuine to watch and it was saddening and emotional to see this.

Well Good Lord, What day he died? Man, these people are dying too fast everyday. 

 

Rest in peace Kevin in Heaven to be with the Lord, Gone but not Forgotten. My condolences goes out to his family and friends including everyone in the NBA Community.

Wow.

 

Spent 30 years at KRIV, the first face of the Satellite News Channel, now gone.

 

One of the great Cuban journalists of our time, now gone.

This one hurts. This one really hurts. There won't be another like him again.

The news keeps getting worse...

 

KTHV's former Chief Meteorologist Ed Buckner has passed away.

 

He was only 59. Only 59, waaaay too young. But his pain is over, he no longer has to suffer. RIP to one of Arkansas' greats.

You know I never cared that he was Cuban, I cared that he was good.

The news broke during their 10pm newscast, so nothing was planned (but there will be tomorrow).

 

This one hurts badly. The weather community will mourn greatly. He, Tom Skilling, and James Spann have changed the game forever, and Gary will be missed for generations to come.

I may not live in Oklahoma, but man losing a weather legend like Gary England sucks. My condolences are with his family and everyone at KWTV.

When you hear of OK weather, you think Gary England.... RIP to a weather legend
