SALT LAKE CITY, Utah, July 14, 2017 (Gephardt Daily) — Rod Decker, the loud, if not legendary political reporter for KUTV, is hanging up his microphone (not that he ever really needed one), calling it quits to an on-air career that’s spanned nearly 40 years.
Known for his brash, no-nonsense reporting style, the prolific Decker has been a daily fixture in Utah’s TV living rooms since Jimmy Carter was president.
Since then he’s worked diligently to distill the complex and often peculiar workings of Utah’s politics into something everyone could understand.
In a wide-ranging interview with friend and former KUTV colleague Bill Gephardt, Decker talked about his reason for retiring, the state of TV news, and his budding career as a soon-to-be-published political historian.

Stop airing. Shauna lake apology. We only have to confess our sins. once. Not day after day. She has suffered enough.
