STAR TRIBUNE — Bill Hudson, the WCCO reporter who circled the globe to bring international stories a little closer to home, is setting aside his suitcase.
The Elk River native officially signed off in August, wrapping up more than three decades at the station of his childhood dreams.
“I’ve had a wonderful career with incredible opportunities to meet people, tell their stories and see the world. But you know when the time has come and the time has come,” the 64-year-old said. “I didn’t feel like I was contributing the way I wanted to anymore. I’m not a social-media type and that’s kind of the direction the business is taking. The gas tank is empty. It’s time to pull over and let the faster cars by.”
Hudson, who graduated from St. Cloud State University in 1980, interned at WCCO in 1980 shortly after his graduation and later returned to the station in 1989 after working in Eau Claire and Milwaukee.
