Bruce Johnson, the 44-year television commentator at WTOP’s ex-sister station — CBS affiliate WUSA9 – died on Sunday, according to his wife. He was 71 years old. The prolific news commentator was recognized for his decades of reliable service in Washington, with a tremendous effect on the DC area. The anchor, who declared her retirement from WUSA9 in Washington about two years ago, finished her bachelor’s and master’s degrees before lighting on WTOP-TV. He was only 25 years old. She transferred her cancer diagnosis with Bruce Johnson just two years before she exited from her show Off Script.
“I didn’t think it would last,” he told WUSA9. “I haven’t seen anyone in Cincinnati and business looking and talking like me, and not many on the network”. Since that time, he has concealed DC politics, making two shows on the station to his name. Johnson also authored two seminal treatises on DC pharmaceutical kingpin Reful Edmund and former DC Mayor Marion Barry.
The acclaimed anchor has since gained several awards, including awards from the Board of Governors of the National Capital Chesapeake Bureau of the National Academy of Television Arts and Sciences.
Johnson has been installed into the Society of Professional Journalists Hall of Fame, the Washington DC Hall of Fame, and is a component of the National Press Club, The National Association of Black Journalists (NABJ), and a life associate of the Kappa Alpha Psi fraternity.
His death was declared just days before he and Washington Post reporter Cortland Milloy examined their new memoir “Surviving Deep Waters” with the DC Public Library. The cause of Johnson’s death has not yet been verified.
