Page "Aaron Brown" Paragraph 1

In the late 1960s, Brown dropped out of the University of Minnesota as a political science major and signed up for active duty in the U. S. Coast Guard.

He began his broadcasting career as a radio talk show host in Minneapolis and later in Los Angeles.

Before his time at the national news networks, Brown was a Seattle broadcasting staple, spending more than 15 years at television stations there, first at the NBC affiliate and then the CBS affiliate.

He was hired by Seattle's KING-TV in 1976, initially working as an assignment editor but soon becoming a reporter and eventually anchor.

In 1986 he moved to KIRO-TV, where he anchored the evening newscast, and remained with KIRO until December 1991.
