Special Monday focuses on Mark McEwen

Roger Simmons, August 19, 2007

WKMG will air "Miracle of Love," a special focusing on the recovery of Local 6 anchor Mark McEwen, Monday at 8 p.m. The show looks at McEwen’s battle after suffering a stroke in November 2005. Also taking a big role in the special — as she also has during the recovery process — is McEwen’s wife, Denise.

"I believe Denise saved his life and will save his life in the future," WKMG GM Henry Maldonado told the Orlando Sentinel in a story previewing the special. "Guys don’t take care of themselves. We are terrified to go to the doctor."

WKMG anchor Jacqueline London hosts the special. "I believe their story is one that can really change lives," London said. "Everywhere I go, people naturally are concerned about Mark and his progress."
