Patrick Healy has spent nearly four decades at Los Angeles’ NBC affiliate, KNBC-TV, and on Wednesday, the veteran anchor announced his retirement.
“I am extremely fortunate to have been given a chance to be a part of the best news shop In Los Angeles, and then be able to work the better part of my career with the most talented, most dedicated — and most caring — journalists in the TV news business,” Healy said.
“Though technology revolutionized the industry during my four decades with NBC4, what has not changed is the commitment to doing our very best to cover the news that matters to our viewers’ lives.”
During his 37 years covering news in L.A., Healy covered such major local stories as the Rodney King beating and the officers’ subsequent trial. Also, the 1992 Los Angeles riots, the O.J. Simpson chase, and the aftermath, the Night Stalker case.
“It will be tough not to see Patrick reporting the biggest stories of the day in a way only he can,” Steve Carlston, President and General Manager of NBC4, said.
“I will always admire him for his integrity and professionalism, and I wish him well as he enjoys a much-deserved retirement with his family.”
