MENANDS Bill Lambdin, a former WNYT reporter who was a presence on Capital Region television for decades, died Saturday morning at the age of 69. The cause of death was cardiac arrest, said his sister, Beth Lambdin.
Lambdin, who grew up in Broadalbin and graduated from the old Broadalbin High School, began his television journalism career in 1973. He stepped away from WNYT more than 40 years later, in 2014. Lambdin was said to have covered more stories for the station than any reporter in its history.
