RIP: August 2007 Archives
KTLA is reporting that longtime anchor Hal Fishman has died. Fishman, long a fixture at the station, had been ill for several days. He was 75.
This from a KTLA biography:
Hal was been the bearer of good news and bad news to the television viewers of Los Angeles, including the assassination of Robert F. Kennedy, the visit of Pope John Paul II, and the Sylmar and Northridge earthquakes. Hal also helped to break the Rodney King beating story, among many others.
Simpson's character Kent Brockman may have been partly modeled on Fishman. Not sure about any similarity. You be the judge.
