Английская Википедия:Chet Curtis
Chet Curtis (born Chester Kukiewicz;[1] April 15, 1939 – January 22, 2014) was an American newscaster who co-anchored with his then-wife, newscaster Natalie Jacobson. He was born in Amsterdam, New York and raised in Schenectady, New York.[2][3]
Curtis was a primetime anchor at NECN, where he anchored The Chet Curtis Report, a nightly news and interview program, and co-anchored New England Business Day. Before joining NECN in the spring of 2001, Curtis had been an anchor and reporter with WCVB-TV since its launch in 1972. For the majority of his time at WCVB, Curtis, with Jacobson, co-anchored the station's principal weekday newscasts, and was the original host of the station's award-winning Chronicle program. He began his career in Boston at the former WHDH-TV Channel 5, before that station lost its license, and ownership was handed over to Boston Broadcasters, Inc., who re-launched Channel 5 as today's WCVB. Before coming to New England, Curtis worked as an anchor and reporter at CBS television's flagship station WCBS-TV in New York City, and prior to that at WTOP-TV (now WUSA-TV), the CBS affiliate in Washington, D.C., also as an anchor and reporter.[2]
Personal life/death
Curtis fathered three daughters, and lived in Quincy, Massachusetts. In late 2012, he was diagnosed with pancreatic cancer.[4] On September 12, 2013, a frail Curtis was inducted into the Massachusetts Broadcasters Hall of Fame.[5] He died on January 22, 2014, of pancreatic cancer, at age 74.[6]
