Wow, I guess it had to happen eventually, but Ted Henry, who has been on Cleveland TV longer than I've been alive, is retiring. I mean, the dude has been in my living room since I was tiny.
Aside from the negative reinforcement that comes with realizing I've lived here too long, Ted is actually the last piece of an era that simply doesn't exist anymore. The broadcast industry and news profession makes it impossible to sustain that kind of track record.
Most of his colleagues left or died years ago. That station has been somewhat of an institution, and the only one to sustain any kind of longevity by not having a revolving door of on-air talent.
But Jeff, if you're on-air talent, don't you also care about moving cross-country just to increase your market # by spots!?! ;)
