Curtis, you may recall, anchored and reported on politics for KTVU from 1993 until 2008. He was mysteriously and out of the blue replaced by current morning (MO2) co-anchor, Dave Clark.
For the past five years Curtis has been anchoring in Providence at the ABC affiliate, WLNE.
He took to Facebook to post the following:
Dear friends and viewers:
As of today I am no longer with ABC 6 News in Providence. As a 38-year media professional, I am available for work in all aspects of the communications business including: news, public relations, government affairs, lobbying, legislative relations and business communications. As many of you know, I also earned a Doctoral degree and am available to teach at the college level. For resume, work samples, and employment offers please contact me at Mark@MarkCurtisMedia.com .
The timing could not have come at a worse time for Curtis, as his forte, Washington politics and the upcoming 2016 Presidential campaign are about to commence. The Iowa Caucuses are less than a year away. Curtis's analysis and political acumen are second to none. He's been doing some reporting for KGO Radio here and appeared on the morning news with some thoughts about Hillary Clinton's news conference.
I asked Curtis about his fallout: "Well, I'm already getting job offers and calls from all over the country."
I'm going to state something that will be met with controversy. Curtis is a damn good newsman; he's also victim of an industry that doesn't take too kind to middle-aged white guys with a little extra body girth. That's right, I said it.
Sue me.
