His channel 4 stint wasn't that long but I enjoyed his work.

i was shocked he was at WDIV for not even 2 years. I guess being a teen with the tigers being so prominent in that time period made me think we was there longer

R.I.P. Fred Hickman I didn't know Fred worked at WDIV I knew him as being on CNN's Sports Tonight with Nick Charles amazing that was number 1 and beating Sportscenter in the 80's early 90's.

I remember him mostly from hosting Sports Final Edition and later finding out he had quite the cocaine habit while in Detroit

Very interesting story. He hated Detroit, and that's where his cocaine habit started.
