Signing Off in the Twin Cities

Longtime KMSP Investigative Reporter Tom Lyden is wrapping it up this week at The Firm’s station in the Twin Cities.

He says he is leaving to help take care of his elderly mother in California.

He started at the station in 1993.

Lyden admits that he has mellowed in his years in TV news. I'm still very competitive, but some of the bull attached to competitiveness isn't there anymore," he said. "I don't think I'm as angry as I used to be. It does make for good TV, but once you're angry, you've lost the argument and the impartiality. I've kind of traded that for calmly hammering away with the same questions. That's much more effective."
