Don Polec to leave Action News

Don Polec, who's been doing goofy features for Action News since his arrival from Buffalo in November 1982, is on his way out.

Don Polec, who's been doing goofy features for Action News since his arrival from Buffalo in November 1982, is on his way out, effective April 1.

A station source said he was headed off in a different direction and is looking to do reports with his wife's TV production company. Channel 6 may even air some of them.

"Long before Seinfeld, he was the guy who could take absolutely nothing and make it hilarious," said former colleague Marc Howard.

For your edification, here's a great Gail Shister story on Polec from 1984.
