LUBBOCK, TX (KCBD) – It was a surprise announcement on late night t-v when movie star, Michael Douglas, told David Letterman last night that he was diagnosed 3 weeks ago with stage four throat cancer.  This means his disease has spread from the throat to the lymph nodes.

Douglas blames his cancer on years of smoking and drinking, but he says he's confident that he can beat the disease. The Oscar winning actor and producer ...is married to Catherine Zeta-Jones. His baritone voice is unmistakable, and is heard every day on this station introducing Nightly News.
