Livingston Gilbert was a newscaster and anchorman for WAVE radio and television for almost 40 years. He started as an announcer with WAVE radio in 1941. When WAVE-TV went on the air, Gilbert began a dual radio-television career. His first television newscast was in 1948. Gilbert remained sole newscaster on WAVE-TV until 1972 when he worked with his first partner on the news show. He spent his entire career at WAVE, and never apologized for the fact that he was not a writer or a journalist, but a deliverer of the news. Gilbert’s distinguished career was unmatched for longevity by any other local broadcaster in the country. During his final broadcast at the end of 1980, he said he hoped he would be remembered for his “integrity.” Gilbert spent three days a week reading books for the American Printing House for the Blind. Livingston Gilbert died on February 7, 1981.
