KSDK, Channel 5′s Mike Owens is leaving Channel 5 to join a law firm, where he’ll clock in after Labor Day.  In a memo to staffers, news director Mike Shipley wrote, “It is therefore,with a heavy heart that I announce his impending departure from NewsChannel 5 where he has served the community knowledgeably, passionately and with aplomb since 1963!  Mike’s reputation as a challenging interviewer and tireless advocate for the community he serves is well-known not just here at KSDK but across two states he’s served from here in St. Louis.”  Shipley and Owens gathered news together since they both worked in small market radio – Owens in Sedalia and Shipley in Jefferson City. Mike’s last day at the station will be Friday, Sept. 3.  Good luck, counselor Mike Owens!
