I miss Don Scott. Him and Marty Bass were like two blood brothers. They have kept it alive. Al Sanders and Jerry Turner were two awesome brothers. It's a big family at WJZ 13. Love you guys.
having lived in the Baltimore area since 1987, I was fortunate to be able to watch the icons of TV news, Al Sanders and Jerry Turner..as well as Don. They were so loved and respected, I think 13 could run old newscasts of those 3 and still beat 11 and 2 in the ratings.
I'm 49 and grew up watching Don, Marty and all the people Don mentioned. They were a significant part of my life and made Baltimore and living in. Maryland special. Career news people, like Don, know they are special when they are considered more like family members than any relatives I ever had.
I grew up (born 1995) listening to Don Scott on the 6am morning news when I was in elementary school. There's something about his bass type voice that just makes me think of black coffee in the morning that no other newscasters have ever been able to do.
Sad to see Don Scott leave but I totally understand his decision. Very nice of him to mention Jerry Turner, Al Sanders, Randy Blair and George Bauman. I liked that touch and it's very true....
I miss Don! He will rank up there with Jerry, Al, Richard.... What a way to sign off.... Love you, Don!!!!!! You are a true Maryland Hero! Now, I'm crying.....
What went for Don Scott, will eventually go for Denise Koch, Marty Bass, and Bob Turk. All three are into at least 40 years. (Bob Turk is into 45 years) At some point, all three will eventually retire. (on their own terms) When you worked at one company for at least 35 years or more, It's not "IF" you retire, it's "WHEN" they retire. Denise, Marty, and Bob are really the last of WJZ's "core group" . Jerry, Al, and Nick Charles passed. Don Scott, Richard Sher, and John Buren have retired. Denise, Marty, and Bob are the only ones left that started at WJZ in the 70's when they were an ABC affiliate.
I remember the old Nick Charles promo where he's standing at a street corner and he points his finger up and the camera moves up and sign says N. Charles St. I always thought that was pretty cool.
@@aresef You think Bob Turk was "nudged:" out the door by management. Turk had been there nearly 50 years. You knew at some point he was going to retire.
You'll be missed Don! Along with Jerry, Al.... I was in the fire dept. in Baltimore for 30 years an met you a few times... I retired in 03.... Hope your retirement is as good as mine has been! I met Jerry in Ocean city we walked the beach with our dogs at times... Have a "GREAT retirement!
Hey glad this was posted...miss u Don..I retired that yr also..enjoyed watching u every morning with Marty ..hope all is well...loving retirement..but miss my co workers as I am sure u do...congratulations...and a retirement that is well deserved
i grew up watching Jerry Turner and Al Sanders. Two most respected guys you could ever know. Then came along Don Scott and Marty Bass. My mornings waking up to the two was always cool. Loved them. But news today is nothing like it was in the past. Today you have anchors who want to be big and who also cant be trusted for truth. But Al Sanders & Jerry Turner they told the hard facts and never mislead the public they both was always professional and never looked to be big shots but only to love the city they lived in along with all the people who lived in it. They made the viewers feel like family. And just like to say Thank you Don Scott for making all of are mornings great.
Thank you so much for posting this. I live in New Jersey but my family has a boat in Maryland, so in the past I used to go Maryland a lot and watch WJZ all the time. Most kids at the time and even young adults now don't really watch the news. They just go online for any news. Well, I've always watched the local news and have done both online and TV for my news. I watch Channel 6 Action News at home in NJ, but WJZ is like the Action News of Maryland. They're a family, I feel like I know them, and the on-air staff isn't constantly changed. Many of them are on the air for many years and even decades. That's rare, but that's what makes WJZ so great. I don't get to watch WJZ because I don't get to go to Maryland like I did when I was young. School and work has prevented that unfortunately. But any chance I get to go to Maryland and be able to watch WJZ on my boat is a treat. I didn't get to see until today, thanks to your channel and video, of Don Scott's last day. I thought he'd sign off at the 12PM instead of the morning show. But it was great to be able to see him sign off around the people that mean the most to him. I was in NJ so I didn't see it but my last time watching him do the news was on Wednesday, June 25th. I'll miss Don. He was great. Don and Marty, what a great duo. Happy Retirement to Don Scott!!! He'll be missed.
I still can't believe he's finally retired. His face is among the others like Turner and Sanders that you were so used to seeing for what seemed like forever. I see he's now involved with voiceover work. Good deal. Enjoy your retirement, Don.
I haven't watched that channel in years but didn't know good old Don retired . Good reporter and hardly never missed a day of work . He was there for a long time like in the 70's . Don I wish you good health and happiness and enjoy retirement . The morning show wont be the same .
kinda met him some years ago when he was still doing field reporting while doing the Morning Addition with Don and Marty Morning news cast~ a story in Cherry Hill tenants complained about no Hot Water and Don was the reporter on that story, the first and last time i actually saw him in person . he was always a professional . thanks for keeping us informed through good and bad times in MD. loved the Snow storm coverage! LOL! you will be missed and good luck in your retirement .
This is super late to the party, but I remember seeing Don Scott walking the hallways of Hillcrest Elementary for a story on something back in the 90s when I was in first or second grade, and it was my first celebrity sighting ever! Hope he's staying safe during all this COVID madness.
I would often wonder as a child…Why would so many Baltimore news anchors get offers from MUCH larger markets for so much more money INTENTIONALLY choose to stay in Charm City? It’s quite simple, really. It doesn’t matter what city you come from, Baltimore gives you a home. You get the feeling that what you do matters here. In markets like NYC or LA, you’re just another person. People don’t stop you on the street just to BS for a few minutes. You really aren’t part of the community. Here, people wave, say Thank You, and let you know that you are a part of the community when they see you. There’s no other city I’d want to live in than Baltimore.

I don't blame him one bit that morning shift can be a bear

Loved hearing his voice in the morning as a kid. It made me happy
Its just not Baltimore i think all of Maryland everybody has heard of Don Scott he is a legend in his own right here in Maryland
WJZ was my go to news in the morning when I lived in Baltimore. Hope Don't Scott is doing well. ✌
Wow! Don's been at WJZ 13 almost 40 years. Congrats on a great run.
From a Baltimorean who did not see this as I am vacationing in Vancouver, thanks for posting it!

Fast forward and Bob Turk has been retired by the suits. It clearly wasn’t his call based on how it was handled.

Pure professional and legend! You will be missed and cheers on your next adventures

I haven't watched that channel in years but didn't know good old Don retired . Good reporter and hardly never missed a day of work . He was there for a long time like in the 70's . Don I wish you good health and happiness and enjoy retirement . The morning show wont be the same .
Very touching how he pays tribute to AL, Jerry, and Randy Blair who were unfairly taken before their time.
Aww, we'll miss you guy. I live in Florida now, and I miss the crew on WJZ.
Darn cutting onions! Don was always a class act and he'll be missed
PONIES AND THIS IS BRONYCON CITY?
You will be missed. Love Dawn Baldwin
I was upset that I didn't have his soothing voice to lull me back to sleep on bad weather days.
O had no idea, I love the whole team always had.
Don was the best
You are missed
I can't believe this was nearly 8 years ago already.
WJZ is definitely no longer the same.
He sat in front of me at the Colts-Ravens playoff game in 2012, great person!
Respect
Classy guy.
I stopped watching when Don retired. I can only take so much of Marty. Don was a true class act.
kinda met him some years ago when he was still doing field reporting while doing the Morning Addition with Don and Marty Morning news cast~ a story in Cherry Hill tenants complained about no Hot Water and Don was the reporter on that story, the first and last time i actually saw him in person . he was always a professional . thanks for keeping us informed through good and bad times in MD. loved the Snow storm coverage!

Sad day....... :(
Amen, I saw it live, and I was in tears then too!!!!!
A class act good balance with Marty, thanks don be well rip al Jerry Randy , been watching jz 64 years jz is the best.

Has it been 8 years? Hope he is still well.
Does that set double as a consignment shop when not on-air?
good.luck.on.your.retirement.don.
I remember Randy Blair sportscaster
I remember when don scott worked on the streets in the beginning. There was a triple murder suicide on ramsey st. In southwest Baltimore.
WHERE IS DON NOW? WHATS HE DOING?
Really wish Marty bass would have retired instead
Marc Spector Agree. I've stopped watching in the morning. You needed the class of Don Scott to balance out the sleaze of Marty Ass.
