Sportscaster Roggin Enters Drug Center
Sportscaster Fred Roggin has checked into an unidentified drug rehabilitation hospital because of chemical dependency, Channel 4 General Manager Reed Manville said late Tuesday night.
“He sought help on his own and management is behind him 100%,” Manville said. “There is probably no other sportscaster in town who works as hard, and we feel somewhat responsible because of the stress we put him under.”
Roggin, who is on a scheduled vacation, said in a statement read by Manville only that he wants to thank Channel 4 management for its support.
