Gone After the November Book

After 4 decades of covering news, longtime WBNS (Columbus) Anchor Jerry Revish is retiring.

Revish delivers the nightly news to Columbus viewers at 5, 6 and 11 p.m. on WBNS.

Of course, he is not retiring just yet. He’ll stick around till the end of the November book before signing off.

“Big local stories are burned into my memory. I’ll always remember covering the Columbus Public Schools Desegregation case from the trial in Columbus Federal Court, to the day the buses rolled to transport thousands of students to schools across the city,” Revish said. “I’m grateful and humbled by the opportunities that have come my way. Even though I’m closing this chapter of my life, I believe my future is full of endless possibility,” Revish added.

President and General Manager John Cardenas had this to say about Revish’s decision to retire: “I couldn’t be happier for Jerry, yet sad to lose such a great journalist and leader in our newsroom. Jerry has always sought the truth in his reporting and has always been fair and honest on every issue and event he’s covered. He leaves a remarkable legacy of integrity, professionalism and a standard of excellence in journalism. We can’t thank him enough for all his contributions to our station and to the community in his endeavor to making Columbus a better place to live. We wish him the very best in his next chapter.”
