Op-Ed, Ben Hodge – Good government leader, KMBC General Manager Wayne Godsey to retire
Wayne Godsey is a Kansas City leader for good government issues. KMBC-ABC Channel 9 is the only area station to run weekend editorials, read on air by Godsey. After 40 years in television, he is retiring.
I first met Godsey in either 2007 or 2008, as he visited a Kansas House committee to testify in favor of legislation banning the ability of government bodies to hire taxpayer-funded lobbyists.
More from KMBC, Media Bistro, and Broadcasting and Cable. KMBC quotes Godsey:
“It has been a privilege to have worked in local television,” Godsey said. “Few careers could have been as personally rewarding. I thank each of my colleagues here in Kansas City, and in New York and elsewhere, on whose talent, hard work and judgment I have relied.”
