CHATTANOOGA, Tenn. — The WTVC and Sinclair Chattanooga family is saddened to announce the passing of longtime anchor Bob Johnson, who redefined local television reporting in Chattanooga and anchored our newscasts from the mid-1970s to 2007
Bob's family says he passed away late Monday night after a long battle with Parkinson's disease. When he announced his retirement to the Chattanooga community he lovingly joked he was "putting the mic down and riding off into the western sunset."
