Born in Tulsa, Oklahoma, former CNN Headline News
Anchor Bob Losure has traveled America and the world as newscaster, keynote
speaker, and emcee. After attending the University of Oklahoma, and graduating
with a journalism degree from the University of Tulsa, Bob worked in the Detroit
market as radio news anchor at the legendary Big 8, CKLW, a station that covered
27 states with the sound of Motown.
Bob later anchored local TV news for nine years at the CBS affiliate in Tulsa,
then was forced to look for another job when he discovered he had testicular
cancer. He not only survived it, but found a long-time home anchoring at CNN
Headline News in Atlanta for 11 years for Ted Turner.
Bob’s most recent news project in 2006 involved a nine-month anchoring stint for
an internet-based daily real estate newscast in San Diego. Funded by Dyson and
Dyson Real Estate in Southern California and backed by an impressive group of
reporters, producers and state-of-the-art web technology, Mr. Losure provided
interviews with top real estate experts for the start-up website, DNN.TV. The
website appeared under the business page of Yahoo.com, and featured Bob’s
interview with billionaire real estate mogul Donald Trump during the opening of
the Trump National Golf Course and Estates at Rancho Palos Verdes, CA.
Bob teamed up with veteran CBS sportscaster Dick Enberg on promotions for the
website, and demonstrated that a website devoted to objective news about the ups
and downs of the real estate world did indeed have a place in the news world.
The site even attracted the attention of such giants as Yahoo.com, which used
parts of the DNN.TV daily report on its worldwide website.
Anchoring and reporting from Atlanta with CNN Headline News since the early
years of the network, Bob Losure covered such history-making events as Hurricane
Hugo, the San Francisco Earthquake, Manuel Noriega's capture and return to the
U.S., and Nelson Mandela's visit to America. His years at CNN gave him a level
of experience that few national anchors have been privileged to have.
As a professional emcee, speaker, and corporate spokesperson, Bob has appeared
before over 200 groups and organizations. His May, 2005 appearance as emcee of
the three-day Outdoor Advertising Association of America convention in Chicago
marked his seventh consecutive year with that group. Bob was also active in Las
Vegas, emceeing the Washington, DC-based Edison Electric Institute Convention
featuring former U.S. Secretary of State Colin Powell. In recent years, Bob has
also hosted the OfficeMax and RadioShack Conventions in Las Vegas. For a

Speaking” on this website.
His autobiography, Five Seconds to Air, focuses on his CNN career as well as the
humorous things that go wrong when you’re doing live television news. In the
book from Providence House Publishers, Bob gives a very personal look at his own
1985 battle with testicular cancer and how it led him to seek and get the CNN
Headline News anchor job. He also talks about his interview on '60 Minutes' ’
with reporter Ed Bradley.
In his "Lights...Camera...Cancer!" speech to groups ranging from the annual
Patient Conference at M.D. Anderson Cancer Center, to The American Cancer
Society chapters in Kansas City, Detroit, Milwaukee, Orlando, and Tulsa, Bob
gives audiences a clearer understanding that they are not alone in their battle
against cancer, and that there is always hope. Hope to see a child graduate from
college. Hope to take that vacation they've always wanted. Hope to be free of
pain, and that a cure can be found.
He speaks to audiences about their rights--the right not to feel guilty for
having cancer, the right to be told the truth by both doctors and family, and
the right to decide on our own medical protocol in our battle with cancer. He
tells the audience to involve themselves in spreading the true facts, not myths,
about cancer. He encourages them to reach out to rural areas where many with
cancer are waiting alone, afraid to tell their loved ones of their fears, and
afraid to seek help.
Bob uses the examples of General Norman Schwartzkopf and singer Harry Belafonte,
two survivors of prostate cancer, and actor Robert Urich and Bob's National
Speakers Association colleague Reva Lee, who fought valiantly against great
odds, and claimed their rightful dignity in the face of death.
There is the story of Don Harrison, Bob's colleague in broadcasting and former
CNN Headline News anchor, who showed what courage was all about in 1990 when he
refused to read an erroneous story that President George Bush Sr. was dead. Don
had battled cancer twice before, losing a leg to its ravages at age 13, but he
showed what the courage of a true journalist is all about that day in 1990. His
death in 1998 after battling cancer three times will never be forgotten by those
who had the honor to work with him or view his work on CNN Headline News.
Bob lets his audience into his deepest thoughts on cancer, and how he felt as he
lay in a hospital bed late at night after numerous surgeries and chemotherapy in
1985, watching his permanent replacements in his former anchor chair at the CBS
affiliate in Tulsa. He recounts how his faith in God, and the help of many
people he had never even had the chance to meet in person, got him back on the
road to win the battle against cancer. That victory not only gave him a
different outlook on life, it motivated him to step outside his comfort zone and
reach for the stars-in this case, a highly-coveted job anchoring for CNN
Headline News in Atlanta.
Bob has appeared in numerous corporate image videos. Among his clients: Bell
South, ESPN, Delta Airlines, Wal-Mart, Siemens, Ideal Health, Pentabasol, Bayer
Pharmaceuticals, IBM/Worldbook, JCB Inc. of London, England; Management
Recruiters, and UCC TotalHome.
From age 22 when he took a giant step into radio anchoring and reporting at the
legendary CKLW radio in Detroit, to TV reporting and anchoring for 10 years at
CBS affiliate KOTV in Tulsa, Bob was in the trenches when major events unfolded.
In 1995 he was inducted into the Broadcasting Hall of Fame at The University of
Tulsa, which followed his 1992 induction as a Distinguished Alumni of the
school. He also has the distinction of joining ABC Anchor Ted Koppel as a member
of 'The Order of West Range', the highest alumni honor given by Pi Kappa Alpha
Fraternity. He was inducted into PiKA’s Gamma Upsilon Chapter "Hall of Fame" in
2005.
