59 Comments 
For a quarter century, WSAZ viewers got to know Bos Johnson. He was an anchor and reporter for the station during a time in which several major news stories took place. Bos covered the Marshall University plane crash and the collapse of the Silver Bridge.
“There was really a sincere effort on the part of news people and everyone else in the station to try to serve them—give them what they wanted and needed. I hope we succeeded more often than not,” Bos told WSAZ recently.
Catch up with Bos Johnson by watching his full interview. You can also send him your comments below.

Dear Bos I have watched you for years on both sides of the TV. Where I lived we only got 2 channels that came in good. I was a TV repairman and when I needed a clear channel I tuned to WSAZ. Most of the time I was behind the set looking into a mirror. Also I saw you once when I was a kid at Long Beach N.C. at Dan Shannons realty and service station. I always felt that if you said it I could hang my hat on it being true. Best wishes and thanks for the momories !!

Bos, I worked with you shooting film and dong stand-uppers around 1975. I went on to the Herald Dispatch and Athens Messinger, an MFA at OU, business career and now full circle to freelance journalism with my wife, mostly travel. Your influence was far out of proportion to the time you mentored me. Dave Peyton and I were close and you were very important to both of us. You are remembered and appreciated. I've become the traveler I told you I wanted to be. You might not remember me but you will enjoy (non commercial site) www.newbohemians.net All the best, and thank you so much for your influence, and patience!
