CNN

Farmer was part of CNN's first day on air on June 1, 1980. Farmer and his wife of 49 years and fellow CNN anchor Chris Curle, who shared the news of his death, were key building blocks in the 1980 creation of CNN. The husband and wife team anchored a two-hour program at noon ET, Take Two, that mixed news, talk and lifestyle segments. Farmer left after seven years to become anchor of Atlanta ABC affiliate WSB.
