PHOENIX (AP) -
Longtime Phoenix television news anchor Bill Close has died at age 91.
KSAZ-TV announced Monday that Close died Sunday afternoon. Details weren't announced.
KSAZ used to be known as KOOL-TV, where Close worked for 29 years as news anchor and later vice president for news until he retired in 1993.
He took the TV job in 1964 after an 18-year career at Phoenix radio station KOY.
Close was known for his no-nonsense delivery and his signature bolo tie on television.
A gunman burst into the newsroom and held Close and a cameraman hostage on the air for five hours on May 28, 1982. Close had to read a rambling statement from the gunman he finally surrendered to police.
Funeral plans and a list of Close's survivors weren't immediately available Monday.
