On Monday, June 3rd, NBC4 News Director Jerod Smalley visited OCB Columbus today and spoke with our morning classes.

Jerod was named Best Anchor (news, weather or sports) by the Ohio Associated Press in 2010 and 2011. He was named Best Sports Broadcaster by the Ohio A.P. from 2007-2009. The NBC4 Sports team also received awards for A.P. Best Sports Operation in 2007, 2008, 2010 and 2012.

He also anchors NBC4’s “The Autism Puzzle,” which features compelling local stories about people living with autism and the resources available for affected people and their families.

He and the station have earned two regional Emmy Awards (2011 & 2012) for The Autism Puzzle.

We are incredibly fortunate to have so many industry professionals who will take the time to share their insight and encouragement with the next generation of broadcasters.
