Becker Out at KNBC, now at KTVX

[TexasTVNews 1366]

Handsome reporter-anchor Ross Becker, who bounced around the El Lay market for decades, has been hired by Clear Channel's KTVX-4-ABC in Salt Lake City (Market #35).

 

Becker, you may recall, nabbed the very first interview with O.J. Simpson after his trial and took heat because Simpson was paid.

 

Editor's note: In response to this post, Becker wrote: "I did not PAY anyone and have never PAID anyone for a news story or interview. I was hired by a production company and I was paid as a freelance journalist to conduct the interview with O.J. back in 1996. I set the strict rules for the interview and the interview was included, uncut, on the video that was sold by the production company."

Who cares?

Your a guy right? ???

 

And what's it to you? If he likes guys, then that's his preference and none of your business.

 

Now if you're interested in this fellow then by all means hit him up privately.

HOLD IT! I'm not (u-know-what GAY, I DON'T LIKE GUYS)! I'M A NEWS ANCHOR FAN!

 

I've happened to know Ross since he was working for KTNV in Las Vegas in mid 2003. I even got his autograph

from 13 Inside Las Vegas three years ago.

 

I'm just telling like it is. For Instance, How would feel if Chuck Scarborough went to NBC 4 to replace Paul Moyer?

 

How would feel if Steve Wolford went to CBS 2 to replace Paul Magers?

 

The reason I found out that Becker left NBC 4 for KTVX is because of NewsBlues, the editor is

on vacation so it's free for a few days.
