Chet Curtis, longtime Boston TV news anchor, has died

Such was their stature during the golden age of local television news that mail sent to their WCVB-TV offices was often addressed simply to “Chet and Nat, Boston, MA.’’ For nearly three decades, beginning in the 1970s, Chet Curtis and Natalie Jacobson, married partners and boldfaced-name celebrities, formed a ratings-winning anchor team for whom viewers developed a strikingly familial affection. The on-air chemistry and domestic union – they were among the first married co-anchors paired together in a major television news market – made them media royalty in Boston. Mr. Curtis, who later moved to New England Cable News, remained a revered figure in the broadcast news profession and a mentor to many younger journalists. Mr. Curtis, 74, who was diagnosed with pancreatic cancer, died Wednesday night.
