Atkinson's Sacramento TV career stretched for nearly four decades at KCRA and KOVR.
"They said, 'You're going back to work in the TV station.' I said, 'I can't do that, I don't have a coat and tie,'" he said in an interview on Primetime Sacramento in March of 2024.
Atkinson reported from multiple wars, including Cambodia, Afghanistan and Serbia.
"All of a sudden, I hear his gunfire, and all of a sudden, I feel a 30-[caliber] part the hair on the back of my neck," he said. "It didn't hit me, but it came so close."
Atkinson described the Sacramento area as "special," which made it easy for him to stay in the market.
He retired from TV in 1999.
