Cannon dealing with health problems

December 11, 2007 Off By Eric O'Brien

KDKA-TV anchorman Don Cannon has been off from his duties as weekend anchor due to unidentified health problems according to the Post-Gazette. The 67-year-old Cannon told the paper a few weeks ago that he’d been having health problems and had expected to be back on the air by last weekend. Instead, he was hospitalized.

Back in July, Cannon seemed to have problems reading the teleprompter on the air and appeared flustered. He hasn’t done a newscast since, but did return to the station in September as a reporter. Neither Cannon’s family or KDKA management would comment on the anchor’s condition.
