Signing Off in the Twin Cities

Longtime Minneapolis Reporter Jeff Passolt is throwing in the towel.

He is retiring from The Firm’s KMSP on May 5th.

“Earlier this year I realized I’d never catch Mark Rosen’s 50 years in the broadcast media business, not to mention Tom Barnard, Charley Walters, Pat Reusse, Joe Soucheray and the legendary Sid Hartman,” Passolt said in a statement released by the station. “So after about 39 years I figured it’s someone else’s turn.”

“Jeff has been the leader of our newsroom for over two decades,” Fox 9 News Director Mim Davey said. “We will miss his sure-handed approach to covering news in the Twin Cities.”
