George Putnam (July 14, 1914 – September 12, 2008) was an American television news reporter and talk show host based in Los Angeles.
He was known for his catchy phrases "That's the up-to-the-minute news, and up-to-the-minute that's all the news" at the end of his broadcast.
He concluded the 5:00 PM news with a teaser, inviting viewers back to get the full story at the station's late evening news program, smiling his signature close, "News at ten, see ya then."
