Let the minutes reflect that in previous Press Articles I named Ginger Zee, who was at the time WOOD-TV 8's Meteorologist-- Best Destined for a Larger Market category. Now, she is at the Windy City at the NBC-affilliate just loving it. I also named Brad Edwards as Best Writer. I guess the Emmy committee agrees with that prediction as he has garnered six of them.
My latest prediction: Gerry Barnaby, formerly of News 8 and WOTV-Channel 41 is going to land a big-time radio position in Grand Rapids, or will be snapped up to be a feature reporter at a local TV station. He currently has a weekend radio show on WLHT-FM (95.7) which he hosts with John Gonzalez (Gonzo) on Saturday mornings, he teaches at Grand Valley State University, is dabbling in real-estate with fixer-uppers and is developing a motivational speaking business which would revolve around health and exercise.
The guy is a walking public relations vehicle for anything he comes in contact with. His devotion to the West Michigan area is admirable and he doesn't want to leave the area. This town certainly is a great place to raise a family and proud pappa Barnaby loves his rambunctious son named Jack.
I never could see why the folks at WOOD would let him go. I guess his format didn't fit their style of news delivery but "hey, do we have to see hard news, all the time?"
Let me know what you think!
