Dyson retires from KOB-TV

ALBUQUERQUE, N.M. — In the wake of a recent “contentious moment” with KOB-TV anchor Tom Joles, veteran reporter Stuart Dyson, on Friday confirmed that he has retired from the station where he first landed in 1982.

“I committed an act of insubordination that was flagrant, blatant and nothing new – and it upset some people in the newsroom,” Dyson acknowledged. “Tom quite rightfully called me on it, and I responded in a negative way and used profane language. It was my intemperate behavior, my intemperate language and my insubordination that led to this. I take full responsibility for it and I feel pretty good about it.”
