KPTM (Cox Channel 10) weekend sports anchor Jeff Radcliffe was expected to be released from the hospital today after being rushed to the emergency room last Tuesday.

Radcliffe had been receiving treatment for hepatitis for about two weeks, said KPTM News Director Allen Beckner, when he suddenly had to be hospitalized. Tests revealed his liver and kidneys were failing.

"Today, Jeff tells me that things are getting back to normal," Beckner said. "His liver and kidneys appear to be functioning well. He'll still be off work for a couple of weeks, but at least he's home and feeling better."

In Radcliffe's absence, Matt Kelly is handling KPTM's weekend sports anchor duties.
