Eric Johnson retires after 3 decades of storytelling at KOMO News

Longtime KOMO News Anchor Eric Johnson has retired after a nearly four-decade career in local television.
Eric’s 39-year career in television began in Boise, Idaho, shortly after graduating from Washington State University. He had dreamed of becoming a sportscaster since he was 9 years old after watching Howard Cosell on Monday Night Football.
Eric may be retiring from KOMO News, but his creative spirit is about to shift gears into the next unwritten masterpiece.
Good luck, Eric!

[@capcomfan11]

He used to be the sports section in komo 4

[@TheRaintree46]

would he have had better retirement package at 40 years?

[@swingingelephant3415]

Yall were too cheap to round it up to 4 decades?

[@semicountryliving3095]

He’s probably leaving this Godforsaken state like everyone else.
