Guest cfif Posted December 9, 2007 Posted December 9, 2007 WTVT lead anchor John Wilson told me via the MyFox chat that they are putting together a retrospect for ex-anchor Hugh Smith as his health is failing. Hugh Smith was an anchor at WTVT from 1963-1991 and doubled as news director for part of that time. He eventually was fired after a run in with the law [solicited an underage prostitute]. Despite this, he's quite a legend and this is very sad. http://big13.net/hsmith.htm
TexasTVNews 1379 Posted December 9, 2007 Posted December 9, 2007 My prayers are with Hugh and his family.
5Viewer 1 Posted December 9, 2007 Posted December 9, 2007 This reminds me of John Drury. (former longtime WLS anchor who just passed away) All of my prayers are with Hugh and his family, also.
TexasTVNews 1379 Posted December 17, 2007 Posted December 17, 2007 It is a sad day for FOX 13; certainly it is a sad day Tampa Bay Television News, but our prayers and condolences right now are with Hugh's family and his extended family at WTVT. Rest in Peace Hugh and Godspeed. :'(
