KPTM Weekend Sports Anchor Returns Sept. 19

Jeff Radcliffe mugWeekend sports anchor Jeff Radcliffe has recovered enough from a bout with hepatitis to return to work Sept. 19.

Radcliffe was receiving treatment for hepatitis when he suddenly had to be rushed to the hospital July 18. Tests found that his kidneys and liver were failing. After being hospitalized briefly, Radcliffe has been recovering at home ever since.

"I pretty much have the sickness beaten, with all my liver/kidney functions in normal range," Radcliffe said. "I thought it would appropriate that my 'on set' return will be with J.J. during a Friday night EndZone show."

KPTM News Director Allen Beckner said until Radcliffe returns, freelancer Suzy Stark will continue to fill in.

"She's a very hard worker," Beckner said. "You can expect to see her on Sundays and Mondays."
