“I was excited to be there, I really lived it and I loved it,” Nourse said in 2019 about working in the KSL newsroom. “I was in love with my job and I wanted to be there, more than anything.”
Driving from Colorado in 1964 in “a brand-new ’63 Corvair,” he told co-anchor Bruce Lindsay during a 2007 retirement tribute on KSL, Nourse parked on Social Hall Avenue, where Salt Lake City’s three TV stations had their offices at the time.
The trio worked together until 1991, when James and Welti both retired; from 1979 to 1991, Nourse was paired with a co-anchor, with Lindsay and Shelley Thomas alternating in the role. Nourse “is a consummate professional,’’ said KSL’s then-news director, Con Psarras. “He was always there, he never called in sick, he’s hard-working, and he cares about the community he works in.”
“So many had the response when we left, ‘Will you call my mother and tell her I’m alright?’ Then I proceeded to call all the mothers,” he said emotionally, “‘Hey, Tom wanted me to call you and say, ‘Hi,’ I talked with him.”Nourse was born in 1940 in Grand Junction, Colo., and began his broadcasting career at radio stations KDTA and KREX there, before he moved to Provo to attend Brigham Young University. He joined KSL and advanced from reporter to anchor after just six months.
