Tony Valdez, a reporter and anchor at Kttv Channel 11 in Los Angeles for more than 35 years, has died. He was 78.
Valdez had been battling end-stage kidney failure and died at home, his son, Steve Valdez, told the station on Friday.
A native of East Los Angeles, Valdez attended L.A. City College and served with the U.S. Army during the Vietnam War. He worked at the local TV stations Kcet and Ktla and the La Opiñion newspaper before joining Kttv in 1981 when it was owned by Metromedia.
“You could look around the TV stations and you’d see one or two Black anchors, a handful of Black reporters, but no brown ones, no Asians,” he said when he retired in 2016. “I was fortunate to be one of the people who, to put it bluntly, broke the color barrier.

Local public broadcaster Kcet was once again the major winner at this year’s Los Angeles Area Emmys, and then, when combined with its sister station Koce (“PBS SoCal”), the two outlets further dominated the awards. Kcet won eight Emmys this year, the most of any station, followed by Univision’s Kmex-tv, which won five. Telemundo’s Kvea won four, and then there was Koce, with three.
That means the combined Kcet/Koce won eight Emmys overall, easily leading all other stations and duopolies.
Kcet’s wins included L.A. Local Color, for “Transformation (Broken Bread),” as well as entertainment, for “Jazz City (SoCal Connected).” Other big winners included Knbc, for daytime newscast (11 a.m. to 7 p.m.) and Kabc, for evening newscast (7 p.m. to midnight).
