In the News

A Green Bay man who spent more than 30 years working in local television has died.

David A. Campbell Sr., 80, died Oct. 12.

Campbell worked briefly at WFRV before moving to WLUK.

“His passion for architecture and design, coupled with his experience in construction later became apparent in the various television news sets he designed and constructed,” his obituary said.

As production manager, Campbell was described by many as “the best boss I’ve ever had.”

“His legacy lives on in countless television news and production professionals who got their first break in the business working for him,” his obituary said.

Campbell’s son, David Campbell Jr., holds the same title his father held at WLUK. David Campbell Jr. started at WLUK when he was 16. He is production manager at WLUK and has been there for 39 years. He says the duties have changed a lot since he father did the job.
