When KOMO TV's Ken Schram signed off Monday night, it was the end of an era for the veteran broadcaster, and TV news in general.
After a 35 year run, Schram delivered the last of his iconic, one-of-a-kind commentaries on Monday. The station announced last week it was buying out his contract and ending his award-winning run with the venerable Seattle broadcaster.
"I don't know what happened, to be quite honest with you. It's never been fully explained to me," Schram told Seattle's Morning News as he prepared to head to KOMO one last time to clean out his desk.
"It was strange. I don't know if hard is the right way to put it," he said of his final commentary, in which he challenged opponents of gay marriage to get over it before saying thanks and so long.
