Little Rock Station Dedicates Studio to Former General Manager

KATV, the ABC affiliate for Little Rock, AR, has named its news studio in honor of Dale Nicholson.

Current general manager Mark Rose announced the dedication of the studio in honor of Nicholson who had worked at KATV for more than 50 years, 30 of those spent as general manager.

Nicholson is credited with influencing the careers of many in the industry, “They’re working in Philadelphia, they’ve worked in New York, they’ve worked in LA,” said Rose. “His knowledge of the news side really was influential in their lives and getting them on the right path and he has just touched so many people, he really has.”

The station’s owners, the Allbritton’s donated $5000.00 to the newly created “Dale Nicholson Scholarship.”
