- Longtime KOMO News Anchor Eric Johnson will retire in June after a nearly four-decade career in local television.
Eric’s 39-year career in television began in Boise, Idaho, shortly after graduating from Washington State University. He had dreamed of becoming a sportscaster since he was 9 years old after watching Howard Cosell on Monday Night Football.
At KOMO, Eric’s passion for storytelling expanded beyond the sports desk. He created documentaries and wrote unforgettable feature stories. He created one of KOMO’s most beloved segments called “Eric’s Little Heroes,” where he featured the joys of youth sports.
Eric’s ability to engage with the audience and tell compelling stories earned him seven National Murrow Awards and some 50 Emmy Awards over his 30-year tenure.

Bob Throndsen died suddenly and had nothing but a 'split second' spot on KOMO's 75th anniversary. I wrote to Eric and complained but never heard back. Bob deserved a lot better than that. Good riddance to Eric!
Who’s replacing him? Preston Phillips?!? 🤮 Rest in Peace, KOMO Seattle.
Good - he's a jerk!
