Signing Off in Mississippi

Longtime WCBI (Columbus, Miss) Anchor Bill Gamel says you can stick a fork in him....he's done. 

After nearly four decades in broadcasting, the veteran news man is retiring.

Gamel has been a part of WCBI Midday for 30 years, first as co-host with Jeffery Rupp and then as anchor and producer.

He originated the first morning newscast in north Mississippi with WCBI Sunrise, co-anchoring with Charla Stegall and meteorologist Rob Smith. Sunrise has now expanded to 3 and 1/2 hours across two television stations, to include the North Mississippi CW4.

The station says that Gamel’s last day at WCBI is Monday, December 18th.

Who the hell retires on a Monday? 

Odd.
