I could talk to Bruce Sussman forever. He’s full of positivity, energy and enthusiasm—all the time, and never in an annoying way. You just can’t have a bad day if part of it includes “The Sussdog.” For many years he was the weekend weather presence for KGW—filing in for Zaffino and Salesky on the evenings and mornings. There’s a section in this conversation where Bruce and I explore his assignment of hosting KGW’s local ripoff of “American idol.” He was great in that role but not without an image change and the challenges of hosting a TV three-ring circus. For my women-in-broadcasting friends, Bruce had to live through an on-air hairstyle change. “Oh the humanity!” Bruce eventually became lead meteorologist for KOIN. These days he’s a reporter and spokesperson for the cyber security industry.
