Sad to report that former News Director Michael Ward has passed away.

Ward was last the ND at WUSA in Washington, DC, but he spent time working at a number of NBC O&O's. 

Ward was the ND for WMAQ in Chicago, VP/Creative Services for WCAU in Philadelphia, and GM for WNCN-TV in Raleigh when NBC owned that station.

Ward started his career as a News Photographer.
