Former 9NEWS & NEWS4 Anchor Linda Benzel has passed away.

Former Anchor woman Linda Benzel has passed away at 72, according to 9NEWS.  Linda anchored newscasts at 9NEWS & NEWS4 (CBS4) in the mid to late 1980s, and broke many barriers doing so.  She was the first female anchor at 9NEWS breaking a long male dominated newsroom.   She also was very active in the community while on air here, in her later years she and her husband moved to Tennessee.

She anchored 9NEWS AT FOUR O'CLOCK, when KUSA was still an ABC Station.

 

Here are some videos from 9NEWS about Linda.
