One of the original CNN Headline News Anchors passed away on Friday.

Bob Losure, who anchored CNN Headline News from 1986 to 1997 passed way late last week.

FTVLive worked across the street from Losure back in Tulsa before he headed to CNN.

Losure worked at KOTV before he left for Atlanta and CNN, which was just a few years old at the time.

After leaving CNN, Losure wrote a book called Five Seconds to Air and made promotional speeches.

He was 72 years old.
