Bye-Bye to the Bay

I guess it can be said that Tv Anchors never retire, or announce that they are going to retire outside a rating book.

Numerous Anchors have told viewers during the Feb sweeps that they are retiring and you can now add WBAY (Green Bay) morning Anchor Kevin Rompa to that list.

“I arrived here back in 1989 to become Green Bay’s very first morning show anchor and I never left. In fact, in the 32 years I’ve been here, I’ve never even sent out a resume or tape to apply for another job. Never even looked at job openings, because WBAY always felt right and the grass definitely isn’t always greener,” Kevin says.

“In retirement, I’m hoping to get some of that lost sleep of 32 years, get some of that back. And do some other things, too, including some extended road trips to explore more of our beautiful state and country with my wife, Maureen. Also, I’ll have more time to take care of mom who still actually lives in the house I grew up in in Minnesota. And also take up some new hobbies, new interests to go along with my old ones,” says Kevin.

He wraps up his run at the station in Mid-March.
