Good-Bye, Hal.

Hal Fishman 1931-2007

Legendary KTLA Anchorman Hal Fishman, the longest-running anchor in television history, and a presence in Los Angeles broadcasting for nearly five decades that many in the city grew up knowing and trusting, has died at the age of 75. Hal's strong connection with Southern Californians, along with his journalistic integrity, made him one of the brightest stars in KTLA's 60-year history. His own quote on the late Catholic Pope John Paul II that the role of a News Reporter is "a Sacred Mission" tells all about Hal's own careers.
