RIP Wendall Anschutz
http://www.kansascity.com/637/story/1668997.html


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

Yeah, he was the newscaster I remember watching when I was a kid and he was a nice guy - I remember having a long conversation with him while we waited in line to see Predator at the theater across from the Metro North mall.

Anschutz and Don Fortune and Fred Brosky were all minor KC celebrities in my pre-teen years -- probably Brosky was the highest profile with his "Bowling For Dollars" and smiley face sun decals...I think Brosky had a fan club even.

Whatever happened to Fred Brosky?

He was a nice guy. His brother lived not too far from us in the early 80's, so we would see him in the neighborhood occasionally. As a kid I thought it was so cool to see "the guy from the TV" hanging out.

She was a cutie back in the day. I liked Maria Antonia more though. She was a real hottie when she first came on the scene. Kind of nasty now though.

Unfortunately, she too had a hard time recently as she lost her younger son in a car crash last March.
