NOVI, MICH. — He made an indelible mark on Michigan broadcasting. But, for some longtime Detroit media observers, it was for the wrong reasons. Warren Pierce, known for his time at WJR-AM 760 and as a morning news anchor at WJBK-2, has died at the age of 82.
Thirty years ago, Pierce exited the TV station under a cloud of controversy. It would briefly diminish Pierce’s legacy in the Motor City, as he would enjoy an additional two decades of reaching audiences across one of the Midwest’s biggest media outlets.
