  • 4:26 what kind of woman was that?

  • R.I.P. Walter Cronkite 1916-2009

    The last TRUE news journalist that told the news as it was.

  • Bill O'Connell is alive and well living in Ft. Myers, FL and still enjoys following the Red Sox

  • @sed1228 - A circa 1964 sign-off of WGBH-2 from Mr. Henning is in the audio section of Jeff Kadet's 'DXPhotos' site, among other sign-offs recorded between 1963 and '65.

  • Is bill o'connell still alive

  • Yesterday, John Henning passed away at age 73 after a battle with leukemia. Prior to his tenure at WNAC-7 (now WHDH), he was on WGBH-2 and WCVB-5. After leaving WNAC, he joined WBZ-4 in '82 and remained there until just before his death. His passing caught me by surprise because he seemed fine to me during a appearance last year.  God bless you John and rest in peace.

  • I remember bill o'connell

  • In my honest opinion, what I would have liked to see is WNAC still being affiliated with ABC and still being owned by RKO General, with John Henning at the anchor desk. That way, Mr. Henning could also have done a tribute to Peter Jennings.

  • Mike Taibbi worked there. Now at NBC.

    I think Lyn Vaughn went to CNN.

  • Congratulations for the tribute to Cronkite!
