Sportscaster George Michael Passes

It is with sadness on Christmas Eve that we report the passing of famed longtime DC sportscaster, George Michael (no relation). After 28 years with WRC-TV (Ch. 4), Michael resigned his position due to budget cuts in 2008. This morning (Thursday) he lost his long battle with cancer, passing away in the early hours at Sibley Hospital.

His former employer, NBC Washington, was the first to break the sad news.
