This courtesy of Skip Peterson: Bob Phillips, chief photographer for WDTN in Dayton, retired today, after 51 years at the station.
A longtime ONPA member and former Television POY, it is believed that Phillips holds the record for the longest tenure at the same station. It’s the only place he worked.
He is 75 years old, and when I just spoke to him on the phone, he was covering a traffic accident. He won’t put the camera down until the 5 pm newscast is on the air. Here is the link to a story Dayton Daily News columnist Dale Huffman published today.
