Capping a nearly 34-year career as Louisiana's preeminent sportscaster and a local broadcasting icon, sports director Jim Henderson has announced his decision to retire from WWL-TV in February.

"All good things must come to an end, and for me, that's my career here at Channel 4 that has encompassed nearly 34 years," Henderson wrote in an email to his WWL colleagues.

Henderson said he intends to stay on as the radio play-by-play announcer for the New Orleans Saints, a job he has held since 1982, but will retire in February from his post at Channel 4.
