That’s what I think. And I think TV people working in these studios day in and day out with all of this radiation and stuff can’t be good, but Im sure others would disagree.
Unfortunately locally for us we’ve had too many anchors who’ve had to, and still do, deal with breast cancer. Kelly MItchel, who worked at WPLG. Laurie Stein, a WFOR reporter who last November put a brave face on and showed us what it’s like to live thru breast cancer.
Now there are two other female anchors who’ll have to deal with cancer
WPBF’s Kristine Hoke, who while driving one night home after anchoring the 11pm news and listening to the radio about breast cancer, did a quick self exam and felt a lump immediately knowing it was cancer. Something confirmed by her doctor the very next day.
Nightbeat reporter Liz Weaver from WPTV found she had an 18 pound cancerous growth on her kidney which has been removed.

Is there an update out there on Kelly Mitchel? Haven’t heard from her in a very long time?
So are we saying it’s not okay that these folks have cancer and are still trying to pursue their careers and maybe help bring awareness to some viewers out there? I’m sure they would agree that they would rather not have cancer just as much as we viewers wish they didn’t have it.
I think Medai Watcher missed the whole point of our administrator here…….He is saying that it is incredible that so many of our news people have developed various cnacers working in the industry. His concern was that it might have something to do with all the high powered technology in the studios.
i myself was thinking about the Peter Jennings situation. If you recall years ago ABC News anchor Frank Reynolds developed cancer in his leg and died in less then a year. Now Jennings in same job has kung cancer.
makes you wonder 🙁
Kelly is hosting a talk radio show on 850 AM in South Florida.
