"Pat has been instrumental in building Fisher Broadcasting into an industry leader," said William W. Krippaehne Jr., President and CEO of Fisher Companies. "Our new communications hub, Fisher Plaza, is a fitting tribute to his 31 years of service to our company and the communities we serve." "In the 31 years I've served Fisher Broadcasting, we've grown from two television stations and one radio station to a fully integrated communications company," said Mr. Scott. "I have enjoyed the full support of the board of directors, management, and employees during each step of my career with Fisher. I can't tell you how proud I am of the teamwork that has built Fisher Broadcasting. Now it's time for me to focus on my family and my health.
