The Central Texas television station KCEN team mourned one of their own live on-air Oct. 30 and announced the death of co-anchor Kris Radcliffe.
Co-anchor Lindsay Liepman of KCEN, an NBC affiliate in Temple, Texas, became visibly emotional as she shared during the Wednesday newscast that Radcliffe “died unexpectedly.” He was 51. “Kris sat in the chair right beside me and he was the best. He was simply the best,” Liepman said. “Funny, genuine and smart. I looked forward to working with Kris every single night and I think you all could tell at home. We had fun here. Kris loved this community and never took his role for granted.
Our newsroom is left with a vast hole. And that shows you how big of an impact he made. More than anything I will remember all the times he made me laugh even on my worst days,” Liepman added. “And that’s the thing. As a news anchor you can’t let your bad days show. He was our rock and I leaned on him.” Calling him “an excellent journalist,” she said that they were just nominated for a regional Emmy for their coverage of a tornado that hit their town.
