Jess Marlow, longtime Los Angeles newsman, dies at 84
Funeral arrangements were pending Monday for Los Angeles television newsman Jess Marlow, who died Sunday in a Denver-area nursing home from complications of Alzheimer’s disease. He was 84.
The former anchor, who retired in 1997, spent more than 40 years with KNBC (Channel 4) and KCBS (Channel 2).
The Salem, Ill., native started out at a home-state television station in Rock Island, then moved to San Jose, where he worked as a reporter and anchor for then-ABC affiliate KNTV.
He came to KNBC in Los Angeles in 1966 to as a reporter, becoming an anchor in 1968 and, at one point, co-anchored the 5 p.m. news with Tom Snyder and the 11 p.m. news with Tom Brokaw.
He moved to KCBS in 1980 and returned to KNBC in 1986. In retirement, he worked on and off for public station KCET (Channel 28), hosting “Life & Times” until 2003 and, later, he and wife, Phyllis, moved to Santa Fe, N.M., then to Colorado.

Oh my gosh...saw him on TV lots. We moved to Los Angeles in 1986...had no idea that he had been off air that long nor his age.
Rest in Peace
