Billings remembers Dan DuBray, former KULR-TV anchor, and community icon

[QRZ lists a callsign for Daniel J. Dubray as NS5G – GW]

Dan DuBray, a former reporter and weekend anchor at KULR-TV, passed away last weekend. DuBray was well-known in Billings for his contributions to journalism and his vibrant personality.

DuBray grew up in Billings and graduated from Billings West High in 1976. After attending college in Utah, he returned to his hometown to start his broadcasting career in radio before transitioning to television.

DuBray retired in 2018 as a federal civil servant. He was remembered as a thoughtful journalist who could handle serious subjects with care while finding lightheartedness when appropriate. “He could take a serious subject and treat it seriously and do justice to it. We could also find some light heartedness in even some subjects which didn’t seem to lend themselves to that,” said Rye.

DuBray was also a ham radio enthusiast and a lover of music. Alexa shared that she plans to honor her father’s memory by completing the testing to take over his call sign.
