Doug Moe: TV anchor Ken Rice has covered both Packers and Steelers up-close

Ken Rice, once one of the youngest news anchors ever on TV in Madison, is now a veteran of two decades on television in Pittsburgh. This week seemed like a good chance to catch up with Rice, and to ask, among other things, who is crazier, Packers fans or Steelers fans?

….Rice’s college experience included internships at WISC-TV (Ch. 3) and WMTV-TV (Ch. 15). It was also on the Madison campus that he formed a lasting friendship with a fraternity brother, Steve Levitan, who is now one of the hottest producers in Hollywood after creating “Modern Family” for ABC.
