Dr. Tim Johnson was not only a television medical reporter / consultant pioneer, he was a genuinely a nice man. Back in the day (sometime in the mid70's), while working for the ABC affiliate in South Bend- Elkhart, IN, I remember we brought him in for a live one-hour broadcast with studio audience (a big deal back then)where invited guests could ask him anything about medicine. I remember picking Dr. Tim up from Holiday Inn to bring him to the station in my newer, yet modest compact car. Even though I was the show host and a big fish in a small pond, I saw Dr. Tim as a widely popular and giant star coming to our little fish bowl, as he promoted his association with ABC and his medical minutes syndicated segments. The 20-minute ride from the motel to the studio passed in a heartbeat as he was the most down-to-earth person one would ever want to meet. We had a wonderful broadcast and Dr. Tim went on to bigger and better broadcast prominence. I will always remember Dr. Timothy Johnson as having a bedside manner that exemplifies the best of the best. His tenure at CVB is a strong testimonial to his enduring popularity. Enjoy your retirement Dr. Tim. And, thanks very much for all the medical wisdom you provided to millions of viewers over the years.

Best wishes to him....
Although I considered it sad a few years ago when ABC essentially put him out to pasture, in favor of Dr. Besser.
