14 Comments 
Bob Brunner spent more than two decades at WSAZ from 1968 to 1990. He left to join the administration of West Virginia Governor Gaston Caperton. After working at different television stations, Bob landed back in West Virginia. He’s now the news director at WOAY in Oak Hill.
Brunner says some of his more memorable moments include covering the Buffalo Creek Flood in the 1970s and a series at Moundsville Prison. He was once chairman of the RTNDA, where he lead an effort to get cameras inside the Senate chamber. He’s won numerous awards for his work.
Bob says:
“I am still in the area, love West Virginia, still have fond memories and who knows one day we may get together again.”

I will never forget Bob and his white tux at a local party, or his master-of-ceremonies skills at RTNDA - a radio and television news convention. I was WSAZ's first ever 6 (and 11) producer. He and I, and news director Loren Tobia formed a happy triumverate bent on in 1986 bringing WSAZ and its manual typewriters technologically into the 80's, or close to it. We had a great time and won an AP Best Newscast award, too. Bob was (and I'm sure remains) a terrific, warm and authentic human being. He could surprise you with his volume, but he came with sincerity and good humor to match. I miss him. So does my wife Marie, who thought the world of him. I hope he reads this! And I hope that viewers who've never gotten to know him as well as I did will believe me when I say that you would be lucky indeed to spend just a little time with someone as honest and real -- in a very plastic-coated business -- as Bob Brunner.
