Longtime LA newsman Stan Chambers, who spent more than six decades at KTLA, died on Friday. Laurie Becklund, the award-winning former staff writer at the Los Angeles Times died last weekend at home in the Hollywood Hills. And longtime Laugh-In announcer and veteran voice-over artist Gary Owens died last week too. Kevin Roderick keeps tabs on media for LA Observed, and he joined KCRW's Steve Chiotakis to remember some print and broadcast legends.
