KNBC Traffic Reporter Paul Johnson Dead at 75

Paul Johnson, morning traffic reporter for NBC4’s ‘Today in L.A.’, passed away Tuesday after a battle with brain cancer. From the station’s website:

The well-known and well-liked baritone-voiced Paul underwent brain surgery in January and remained off air while recovering.

Earlier this year, viewers flooded NBCLA with e-mails, phone calls and bags of letters asking where and why Johnson was off the air. Today in L.A. reported Johnson had a brain tumor. Once it was made public that Johnson was ill, the outpouring of support was truly amazing.
