We have some sad news to report for long-time OKC TV news viewers.
Last night, an Ogle Mole let us know that Tyler Suiters – the lead evening anchor for KOCO Channel 5 during the early to mid-aughts – passed away following a three-year-long battle with ALS. He was 53 years old.
Our thoughts go out to his family, friends, and former colleagues.
Although we lost track of him over the years, Tyler will always be linked with TLO canon.
Way back in 2007, a simpler time in human existence when people didn’t post and share every aspect of their existence on social media, we’d occasionally publish and lampoon photos of local TV news types. This was back when the Internet was looser and more fun and people didn’t care if you roasted famous people.
