Vegas Station Owner Gets Good News in Cancer Fight

Jim Rogers

Back on January 6th, FTVLive told you that KSNV (Las Vegas) station owner Jim Rogers announced to the staff he was in a second battle with cancer. 

The Las Vegas Review Journal reports that Rogers got some news he’s been praying for: His cancer is in remission and a scheduled surgery has been canceled, according to KSNV-TV general manager Lisa Howfield and Bob Stoldal, executive vice president of news.

Rogers, who informed his employees late last year during a Channel 3 newsroom meeting that he was facing a new cancer challenge, received the update Tuesday while visiting his oncologist.

He had undergone chemo and radiation, according to KSNV-TV general manager Howfield and Stoldal.

Rogers told Howfield and Stoldal, “one of the greatest things out of this is now I can go to the Final Four.” He has been attending the NCAA championship for decades.

“He said, ‘I’ve returned to my normal abnormal self,’” Howfield said.
