Movies and TV RIP Wendall Anschutz - Page 6

Wendall Anschutz, whose serious approach to news and folksy presence on camera made him Kansas City’s most popular news anchor throughout the 1980s, died Thursday morning. He was 71 and had been undergoing treatment for metastatic throat cancer at the University of Kansas Medical Center.

From 1966 to 2001, Anschutz was a reporter and anchor at KCMO-TV, later known as KCTV. He became an anchor in 1969, was kicked back to a reporter’s job when new management came in, then worked his way back behind the desk.

On July 16, 1979, he was paired with a new co-anchor, Anne Peterson, and the two quickly became a sensation, attracting 40 percent of the audience to their newscasts by year’s end. They went on to form one of the TV industry’s most durable on-air partnerships, finally ending when Anschutz opted for retirement in 2001.

In 1989, Anschutz suffered a stroke and, as part of his recovery, began oil painting. Eventually he sold his works to galleries. His most popular paintings featured enormous, tidal-wave-shaped clouds looming over the prairie.

Funeral arrangements are pending, according to a family member

"A good friend of mine, his mom was Cheryll Jones hair dresser back in the early 1980s, and he claims to have hooked up with Cheryll for many stress releasing meaningless overnight rendevouz with her. Yowza, she was diz shiznit back in the day..."

I believe you owe Cheryll Jones an apology for the derogatory story your so called friend made up about her. As all of her many fans know, she was not even in Kansas City during the 80's. She was in Denver, then went to Atlanta where she worked for the weather channel and a CBS affliate and then on to CNN. It's not gentlemanly to protray, as fact, your friend's lewd fantasies about Cheryll Jones on a public message board. She's a classy lady and does not deserve to be slandered like that.

Jesus, lighten up, Francis. We're talking about 30 years ago. Late 70's, early 80's whatever. She divorced her husband, so her life wasn't exactly perfection. I don't know if the guy's story is true or not, I said "claimed." Unwad your panties and chill.

Here's a story about an outing where she was lunching with Max Floyd:

Your friend is lying to you and feeding you a line of crap...or either you are lying...in which case your name is appropriate blowfish? That's wasn't Cheryll. She was not in KC during the 80's at all. She was in Denver and Atlanta. The video you posted was from the 70's. Her website will even verify this information should you take the time to look it up. She is a sweet, smart, beautiful Lady. And when I say Lady, I mean a Lady of character. What is it that you hope to gain by slandering someone such as Cheryll in a public forum anyway?

StormDog · 01-10-2010, 10:58 PM

Wendall and Cheryll were friends. Why would you trash up a Memorial to Wendall with sleazy comments about one of his friends?

Thank you.

You've just given me a reason to read this entire thread.

Why do things like this always occur on Chiefsplanet?

Here's some that come to mind:

Denny Trease

Denny Trease was actually here in Lexington until last week apparently:

From Kentucky.com

Trease gone from WKYT

Denny Trease, a longtime reporter for CBS affiliate WKYT (Channel 27), has left the station.

"I'm no longer there because we were unable to work out a suitable contract agreement," Trease said, declining to comment further.

News Director Robert Thomas declined to discuss Trease's departure.

Trease had two stints at WKYT. He provided sports coverage at the station from 1972 to 1980 before leaving to become the voice of the Kansas City Royals. That was his job for 13 years, until his station was outbid for the game rights. Eventually he was hired to do public relations for the Royals but later went back into TV news in Knoxville and then returned to WKYT in 2000.

Trease was also known in Lexington for his longtime association with the Todd Trease Teddy Bear Fund, named for Trease's late son. The fund provided toys for young patients in emergency rooms.

He served as weekend anchor for a time at WKYT but recently had been doing only reporting.

My dad was on "Bowling for Dollars" (local game show) hosted by Fred Broski when I was a kid. He only got a spare, so he won some stupid consolation prize (like 10 lbs. or beef jerky or something).
