John Tracy leaving KTUU

[alaskanews 123]

John Tracy, the man who built fledgling KTUU into the powerhouse it is today is leaving his position as news director and anchor at the end of the month. He is going to a local ad agency and PR firm that he owns a portion of.

 

I worked with John, he is a great man, but you could tell his heart wasn't in it anymore. It's hard to see him go though, I grew up watching him and Maria Downey anchor together every day.

Guess that would mean two things:

 

1. Steve MacDonald will be promoted to News Director, and

2. Channel 2 News might go HD sooner than later
