I think you're right. Either way, I get chills watching this promo. It was well produced, had a catchy tune, and it perfectly captured the excitement and positive energy of Cleveland in the mid-1990s. That was a great time in our city's history: the Indians were on fire, the Rock Hall had just opened, business was booming in downtown, and we had a mayore with vision and decisiveness in Mike White. Now we have none of those. This was fun to watch.

You got that reversed.

Stevens was weekend anchor/assistant to the late great Nev Chandler.

Stevens took over for Nev after Nev's death in 1994.

Stevens left in 1996, and then Matt Underwood took over until 2000, when he went to the Indians broadcasting team full time.

Bob Stevens was on the sidelines in the clip at the Browns game - he was the alternate/weekend sports guy on WEWS after Matt Underwood.

On today's Wheel of Fortune, the final bonus round puzzle was "Give Me Five." When I saw that the contestant didn't get it, my initial thought was, "He's definitely not from Cleveland, otherwise he would have heard it on Channel 5 on TV." LOL

Not to mention Cleveland's own Drew Carey.
