Patrice King Brown recovering and will miss part of sweeps

February 27, 2009 Off By Eric O'Brien

Since the digital conversion was supposed to happen in February, sweeps month was pushed back to March. However, you won’t see KDKA-TV’s (2) Patrice King Brown for at least part of the ratings period. She tells the PG that she’s recovering from surgery of a torn Achilles tendon. She plans to be back in a few weeks when she can bear weight on the leg, but until then she’s on the couch.

Brown joins co-worker, traffic reporter Jim Lokay on the list of the recovering. Lokay has spent a few weeks recovering from surgery for a torn ACL. PBRTV has kept a watchful eye on his progress and recovery is slow but sure.
