Married Life - Wife & Children

Regardless of the pay, for Bill, his career never takes precedence over his family life. If not for the constant support and love from them during the final stages of his cancer treatment in 2009, he would have found the transition almost unbearing.

The Seattle-based news anchor shares two children - Will and Gigi - with his wife, Catherine. The duo got married in 1996. Through thick & thin, they stuck by each other's side.
