Another "End Of An Era" in Buffalo Broadcasting. Don Postles, a fixture at the WIVB News 4 anchor desk for 32 years, will retire on December 19th, as announced by the station on Wednesday. At 73, Postles is one of the few local media figures to have anchored for all three major Buffalo news stations. His Buffalo journey began in April 1976 when he joined WKBW-TV, replacing Jim Gardner, who had moved to WPVI-TV in Philadelphia. After leaving Channel 7 in 1987 to work for another Cap Cities station, KFSN in Fresno, Postles returned to Western New York in February 1988 to join WGRZ-TV, Channel 2. In 1993, he completed his “Buffalo Television Hat Trick” by joining WIVB Channel 4. We look forward to celebrating Don's amazing career over the next several weeks!

It only took me 3 episodes to ditch Matlock, it is just so uninteresting.

From Bill Hutchins CKWS ANCHOR,

Some personal news to share - after 34 years at CKWS TV (Corus/Global Kingston) and over 27 years anchoring the 6pm news - I am signing off after some 7,000 newscasts. I’ve had the privilege of working with countless, talented journalists and other staff past and present.

It was truly my honour! I also want to thank viewers for their trust and loyalty by welcoming me into your living rooms every night.

I will always cherish those on both sides of the camera as I move on to a new chapter. The vast number of job cuts today mark the end of an era for CKWS TV and 70 years of local broadcasting history. Thanks for watching! Bill
