Former KSAT news director Jim Boyledied Saturday after a five month battle with cancer.
Boyle had been news director for the San Antonio ABC affiliate for 29 years. He started at KSAT in 1984.
KSAT remembered Boyle during its newscast, “He led his newsroom through huge events, personal and professional triumphs and four Spurs championships.”
Jim was deeply rooted in and loved San Antonio.
He and his family would host an annual Christmas party. This past Christmas, with Jim bedridden, numerous members of the news department and their loved ones brought the party to him by singing him Christmas carols.
Jim’s wife, his two daughters and grandchildren never failed to bring a smile to his face.
We at KSAT12 would like to think Jim’s biggest legacy is what you see on our newscasts every day. Many of us still find ourselves asking, “What Would Jim Do?”
Boyle was 66.
