Kennedy celebrated Postles’ career and thanked him for his commitment to keeping Western New Yorkers informed, saying in part, “Buffalonians have come to trust Don Postles’ voice as one of honesty and integrity, guiding us through our highest of highs and lowest of lows. Whether it was our Buffalo Bills and Sabres bringing home a victory or a dangerous blizzard bearing down on the region, Don Postles’ dedication to keeping folks informed has never wavered. His dedication and hard work leave behind an inspiring example for the next generation of journalists to follow. On behalf of the residents of Buffalo and all of our Western New York community, thank you Don. Enjoy your hard-earned retirement.”

Postles, a recipient of several Associated Press and United Press International awards, has brought Western New Yorkers their news with honesty and integrity in a career spanning more than thirty years. Don Postles is also one of the few journalists to have worked for all three major local broadcast news stations in the Buffalo-Niagara region.
