Who was Ken Case?
Kenneth Craig "Ken" Case was a news anchorman, meteorologist, and sports broadcaster associated with KNOE-TV in Monroe, Louisiana, from 1967 until his retirement in 1987. In addition to the news and weather reports, Case produced the weekly program The Southern Angler, a favorite of fishing enthusiasts.
A native of Omaha, Nebraska, Case served honorably in the Army Air Corps during World War II. He started his career in radio broadcasting. For a time, he and Johnny Carson were a radio team in Omaha. The two were the same age.
Case died at Glenwood Regional Medical Center from injuries sustained in a vehicular accident in West Monroe. Case pulled his Lexus sports utility vehicle out of Regency Place onto North Seventh Street and into the path of a northbound GMC pickup truck driven by 20-year-old Nicholas Ross. Ross was towing a stump grinder and attempted to swerve out of Case's path, but he struck the driver's side of the Lexus. Mrs. Case, the former Frances Clinton, sustained moderate injuries. Ross was not injured.
Roy Frostenson, a spokesman for KNOE, described Case as a familiar face to area viewers and "one of the mainstays of the early years at KNOE," the CBS affiliate in northeastern Louisiana begun by its namesake, the late Governor James Albert Noe, Sr.
