Many were surprised to see that Gray’s WNDU (South Bend) had named Gary Wordlaw as the station’s new News Director.

Wordlaw is one of those guys that seems to have been around forever and someone that you hadn’t heard about in years.

Wordlaw was a longtime News Director in DC and also was in Baltimore, Seattle, and a number of other markets.

Along with being an ND, Wordlaw was also a GM at a couple of stations. Last we heard, he was at the Black News Channel before it went belly up.

He’s now resurfacing at WNDU after nearly 40 years in the business.
