Chris Rose: Who was he?

He started working for WCSH in 1986 as a news producer before deciding to pursue his destiny and start working in front of the camera. We all benefited from his decision.

When announcing Chris’s resignation from NEWS CENTER Maine in 2018, Chris’ former colleague and longtime anchor Pat Callahan said, “No one has been more reliable.”

You can always count on him to meet deadlines, write accurate, compelling and comprehensive stories, and never use unnecessary words. He probably used his producer training there.

The Maine Broadcasters Association Hall of Fame inducted him in 2017 in recognition of his acclaimed reporting. In 2018, Callahan said, “For years, I believed that if we offered an MVP award to a NEWS CENTER reporter, Chris Rose would be in the running every year.”

Chris joined the University of New England after leaving NEWS CENTER Maine to work as a public relations specialist there. According to his faculty bio, Chris is “dedicated to presenting stories about the fantastic things happening at UNE”. “This includes brainstorming story ideas, talking to faculty, staff and students, and drafting press releases and articles.”

Chris gave equal attention to the more humorous incidents, such as when Robin Williams came to Maine to shoot a movie, as well as several important events that impacted our state and region, such as the sinking of the El Faro and the bombing of the Boston marathon. No matter how serious or humorous, intriguing or seemingly trivial, Chris gave his best in every story he covered.

So sorry to hear this what a great guy! He interviewed us when we owned the Lambs Mill Inn in Naples when a micro explosion blew out Lambs Mill Rd and knocked out power for several days wreaking havoc on the business with no food or refrigeration! Love this guy. Rest in peace!
