Eric Paulsen, a WWL-TV reporter and anchor who was the mainstay of the top-rated morning newscast for most of his 47 years at the CBS affiliate, died Saturday of cancer at Ochsner Medical Center. He was 74.

Paulsen, believed to be the longest-tenured anchor in the region, disclosed his cancer diagnosis in September, less than a month after receiving the Press Club of New Orleans’ Lifetime Achievement Award and a salute from the New Orleans City Council.

I remember when Eric first started with Channel 4 in the late 70's doing PM magazine in the afternoon.

Very sad. He was a close friend of some family members. Super nice guy the 5 or so times I interacted with him.
