9/13/1993 WEWS News Channel 5 at 11:00 (Part 1)

This one was actually broadcast around midnight going into September 14 because of the football game.

Roy Weissinger retired from News Channel 5 in 1998. Wilma Smith left for WJW only a few months after this newscast and is still anchoring there today. Kerry O'Reilly appeared to have filled in for Don Webster on this particular night. Having never heard of her, I don't know where she is now, but Don Webster also retired in 1998, although he continued to host It's Academic until its 1999 hiatus. Never heard of Bob Stevens either, so I don't know where he is now, although on this newscast he appeared to be filling in for Nev Chandler, who passed away the following year.

Outside of the news desk, Joe Pagonakis is still with News Channel 5 and now works as an investigative reporter. Not sure where Katherine Boyd is now, but I know she was also on WKYC for a while after her work with News Channel 5.

Nev was calling the game on the radio that night. Bob Stevens was the weekend sports anchor on News Channel 5, paired with Bill Sheil, Tonya Strong, and Kerry O'Reilly. Can you post the game?
