KTLA's Hal Fishman dies from colon cancer

wow - he was such a staple. I used to watch his newscasts almost every night for years. I liked how he'd get pissed when they'd break into the news for some stupid car chase. He'd always want to get back to the "news."

RIP Fishman

Yeah, I was really bummed this morning when I heard. He was one of the best. I didn't always agree with his editorials, but I ALWAYS respected him and his focus on the important news (and not the fluff).

In a subsequent discussion, I was reminded of another long-timer: Stan Chambers. I heard his words on Hal and about how Stan had respect for Hal's integrity. And to think: Stan Chambers has been with KTLA since 1943 (if I heard correctly).
