Bill Lagattuta

Bill was only in Portland, as a main anchor at KGW, for a few years, but he had a big impact. Stories of newsroom pranks are legendary, especially with his co-anchor, friend, and sometimes foil Kathy Smith. (Listen to Kathy's podcast to get her side of the story) Among the stories here, how Bill and Sports Director Scott Lynn stripped down and took a photo in Kathy's bathtub-- at her home. Also learn the words of wisdom Bill shared with me when I was a young reporter that stayed with me throughout my career. Bill moved on to KCBS in Los Angeles and then covered many national stories as a CBS News correspondent and for 48 Hours. Now Bill lives on an orchard in Northern California. He's an accomplished artist while he and his wife run a TV production company.
