BOISE, Idaho After three decades at Idaho’s leading news organization, KTVB News anchor and journalist Mark Johnson is retiring from television broadcasting.
In his storied career, he’s been the face of Idaho news on KTVB’s top-rated evening and late newscasts and a champion for countless community nonprofit organizations. He’s covered a Super Bowl, a World Series, Fiesta Bowls, NCAA basketball tournaments and five Olympic games, winning a national Edward R.

Recovery in the Texas manufacturing sector remains in high gear, with measures of demand, employment, wages and prices reaching new highs in the survey’s 17-year history, said Emily Kerr, Dallas Fed senior business economist. With this on the heels of other headline indexes reaching historical highs last month, it seems we are seeing unprecedented growth in Texas manufacturing.”
