Robert Feder revealed the news in his column today (April 26, 2022)…
Highly recommended: Ike and Me: What a Time It Was, the insightful memoir of former Chicago sportscaster Rich King, is about to be published by Rick Kaempfer and David Stern’s Chicago-based Eckhartz Press. (Here is the link to pre-order.) It’s more than just an engaging collection of war stories and character vignettes spanning a golden era in sports and TV news. It’s also a remarkably candid reflection on how King overcame the culture of racism that permeated his childhood on Chicago’s South Side and a tribute to the epic friendship he forged with his intrepid cameraman and partner in crime, Richard “Ike” Isaac. After 48 years in the business, King retired from WGN-Channel 9 in 2016 and moved to Phoenix.
