If you're
from Northern Michigan you know who
John McGowan
is.
A
legend.
After 40
years at 9&10 News, let him eat cake!
John McGowan celebrated
40 years with Northern Michigan's News Leader
today.
Since 1972,
you've seen John in nearly every possible role here in news and
sports.
And while
we took a moment to celebrate his service today, we will be taking a look back
at his broadcasting career.
John McGowan, "I'm very
touched at the reaction I've received to the fact, that I've managed to hang
around here so long. That was not the plan when we moved up here during the peak
of color change back in 1972. Two trips back and forth from Grand Rapids in a very
undependable 1967 Rambler Rebel was all it took to transport our stuff in that
move. It would be a lot more complicated today. It helped that I had a wife from
Detroit, who had no desire to go back to the big
city, and as kids came along, hey, Northern
Michigan was home, for them and us. But it turned out that even in
1972, 9&10 News was a pretty neat place to work. I've always been blessed by
the fact that whatever job I was doing, there was never any chance to get bored.
And the support I've had from our audiences, whether I was disk jockeying a
little in mid 70's or doing sports in the late 70's and 80's, or reporting, or
anchoring weekends or filling in like today on the 5:00, has always been
extremely important to me. So, I thank you for that support, and I hope you'll
continue it for a few more years, until it's time to retire."
Join us as
we bring you a special thank you for our very own John
McGowan.
We'll be
celebrating 40 years of his career here at 9&10 News on October 25th on
9&10 News at 6:00.
