A local television news anchor who has been a dependable presence on morning television in Cincinnati for a substantial amount of time has passed away. The news anchor was a member of the Cincinnati television group. According to a statement that was released by his family, John Lomax, who had attained the position of anchor and reporter at WKRC Local 12 for a total of 39 years, including 32 years as a co-host of “Good Morning Cincinnati,” passed away unexpectedly at the age of 72. It had been a total of 39 years since Lomax had started working at the station. The Cincinnati Enquirer was informed by Lomax’s family that he had passed away as a result of problems that originated from his illness.
These complications were brought on by his illness. The message that was released by the Lomax family on Wednesday read as follows: “We, the Lomax family, have some sad news to share with you all.” A public declaration was made available to the general public. Coasty Roscoe, a family nickname, husband, and father, and without a doubt the best Pop-pop performer of all time, passed away abruptly this morning and went on to his infinite beach in the stars. Coasty Roscoe was a member of the Roscoe family. To express their sorrow over Lomax’s demise, the station referred to him as “the heart and soul at Local 12 for forty years.” This was done in order to convey their profound sense of loss.
There were younger reporters who sought Lomax’s assistance, and it was reported that Lomax was like a “mentor” and “a second dad” to them. It was the impression that his coworkers had of him that was presented here. John would be the one I would call in the case that my father passed away, rather than my father. “He was always there,” Bob Herzog, a newscaster and anchor at Local 12, said in an interview with the Cincinnati Enquirer. “He was always there.” During his speech, Herzog was discussing the situation. Lomax was an employee at WKRC, whose call letters served as the inspiration for the popular comedy “WKRP in Cincinnati,” according to Herzog.
Herzog also commented that Lomax was an incredibly well-liked employee by all of the staff members during his time there. Lomax’s call letters served as the inspiration for the sitcom. According to Herzog, “We referred to his office as the counselor’s office a lot of the time.” That is what we did. We proceeded in this manner. “It was something that people went to in order to talk through something.” Whether you had worked with Lomax for 18 or 19 years or were the producer who had just been hired, Herzog claims that Lomax was always accessible to lend a helpful ear. This was true regardless of whether you had worked with Lomax for a long time or not.
“He possessed such a calm and collected demeanor around him.” One of the most remarkable moments of Lomax’s career was when he covered Super Bowl XXIII in Miami. The game was between the Bengals, the Bengals’ hometown team, and the 49ers, the San Francisco 49ers. Lomax referred to this as one of the most memorable moments of his career. Two years ago, Lomax retired, and he remarked that this was one of the most memorable events of his career. He left the industry two years ago.
