Cannon pleads guilty for DUI

By Eric O Brien

Pittsburgh:

The Post-Gazette says former WTAE and KDKA-TV anchorman Don Cannon pleaded guilty on Monday on two counts of DUI. He has been placed on 3 months house arrest. Cannon, 68, was arrested twice last November for DUI and both times his blood alcohol level was twice the legal limit.

Cannon has been off the air at KDKA since late last year and did not renew his contract earlier this year.

What happened to Mr Cannon working part time in California after being kicked to the curb by TV-2?

What a shame…

I’m not certain he was “kicked to the curb” as much as it was a mutual decision.

Eric, thanks for clearing that up for me!

In hindsight it looks like an excellent decision by KDKA.
