Mike Boguslawski, a longtime WTNH consumer reporter many consider a Connecticut institution, has died, according to his former co-workers at WTNH. He was 78.

“I’m Mike Boguslawski and I’m in your corner.”

That’s how Boguslawski ended every consumer report.

Affectionately known as “Bogey” – he was a hometown guy from Bristol, who never hesitated to put up a fight for the little guy.

He spent nearly two decades in Connecticut television at WTNH and WVIT before he took his talents to Los Angeles. He spent time in some other markets, but Connecticut was always home.

Bogey spent his later years where it all started in Bristol. He died at Bristol Hospital.
