Madeline Fretz - Yesterday, I posted some good news in that season 1 of the revived ZOOM would be coming to PBS Retro, today, I have some bad news. I am saddened to report the passing of Austin Hoyt, producer of a menagerie of WGBH shows, ZOOM included.
Hoyt was also one of the creators of The Advocates and producer for The American Experience. His documentary about Douglas MacArthur earned him a Primetime Emmy. He and three ZOOMers in season 2, cast 3, Danny McGrath, Luiz Gonzales, and Edith Mooers, turned up on The Mike Douglas Show in 1974.
