Oregon Media Insiders

Remembering Jim Bosley

The first time I met The Boz was after one of my first broadcasts at KATU. He came into the Weather Center wearing his wide-brimmed hat, looked down at me and said “Well you look like you know what you’re doing out there.” Followed by, “stick around kid, I’ll teach you everything you need to know.” And he did.

Brian Wood from WMAR (Baltimore) will be the new 4PM anchor at KATU. He will begin on April 21st; perhaps that is when the new set is scheduled to debut. Any idea if KATU will also be updating their graphics package as well?

I am the assistant manager of a complex in Tigard Oregon. We have just received two applications back from our screening company that the social security numbers given come back to deceased 29 yr olds, both of the men are in early 40's or late 30's. They have been approved and will be renting an apartment! If there is NO legal obligation to verify the identity of the prospective renter, how can any complex guarantee the safety of the other tenants and the community as a whole?
