Tim Melton, former channel 13 weekend sports anchor, will give his first TV interview about the stroke he suffered in October of 2011 to his friend and former colleague Bob Allen this Monday night on channel 11.

"I think you'll find it interesting and encouraging," Allen told mikemcguff.com. "The man is handling a tough situation in an amazing way."

Allen says this will be the first time Melton has even talked about the stroke publicly and how he's been coping since.

I broke the news on this very blog last month that Tim Melton left KTRK abc13, where he had worked since 1981.

And just last weekend, I broke the news that KTRK abc13 officially made sports reporter Bob Slovak Melton's replacement in the weekend sports chair.

As for Allen, he quit KTRK in January and started working at KHOU in April.
