Ed Baxter, 'KGO Morning News' Co-Anchor, Retires

Ed Baxter, the award-winning co-anchor of "KGO Morning News," is retiring after working for the San Francisco radio station for 35 years, according to a story by David Wagner at sfgate.com.

In 2004, "KGO Morning News" won an Edward R. Murrow Award for best newscast in the nation, and two years ago, Baxter was inducted into the Bay Area Radio Hall of Fame.

"He epitomized the personality style of KGO Radio news," says the station's news director, Paul Hosley, citing Baxter's probing interview style and sense of humor.

Baxter began his career at KGO in 1976 as a street reporter covering Contra Costa County. After working his way up to the position of East Bay Bureau chief, he became an anchor on the "KGO Afternoon News" broadcast and held the position for 21 years. He replaced morning co-anchor Jim Dunbar in 2000.
