Ken Mease has died

KDKA-TV (2) sports anchor Bob Pompeani sent a tweet this evening that former station sportscaster Ken Mease has died.

Long-time KDKA employee, Aviva Radbord had this to share about Mr. Mease:

Ken Mease was the weekend sportscaster for KDKA-TV’s “Eyewitness News” in the late 1960’s, when Dick Stockton was sports director…It was quite, a team

He briefly returned to KDKA-TV, in later years — and was brilliant, in covering the Steelers, on the road, and at home — a terrific writer and on-air talent.

However, Ken Mease really made his mark as a sportscaster at Washington, DC’s WUSA-TV.
