Today in the studio we have local news legend, Andy Mehalshick! (from PAhomepage) Andy is the lead member of the Eyewitness News Investigative Team. He started his broadcast journalism career in 1979 at Wilkes University where he received a scholarship to run the college radio station. He began reporting at the Hazleton Area Radio Station in 1982 working his way up to News Director – at the same time he reported for an area newspaper. He was hired by WBRE in 1985 and has performed duties in virtually all the positions in the Newsroom including: Anchor, Producer, Assignment Desk as well as Investigative Reporting.
I was so honored to get to speak with Andy on everything from his career experiences to his time as an undergrad at Wilkes! We even got to see him live in action as he ran to cover a news story post recording. Check out his work and enjoy the podcast. :)
