Veteran San Antonio newsman George Jennings has died following a lengthy battle with renal failure. He was 67.


Jennings worked at 1200 WOAI news and News 4 WOAI for twenty years, retiring in 1999. He was also a prominent fixture as a master of ceremonies and presenter at numerous local events.


George was a native of Kosse Texas, in Limestone County. He worked for fifteen years as morning host and program director at KAAY-AM in Little Rock Arkansas. He also worked at WFAA in Dallas, where he covered the 1963 assassination of President Kennedy.


Friends say Jennings had suffered from kidney failure for some time, and had recently been moved into Vitas Hospice on Fredericksburg Road. He died at the hospice last night.


George is survived by his wife Nancy, and his son Dean. A second son preceded George in death.


Funeral services are incomplete.
