#3: Jerry Revish on his 10TV Career, Faith, Life & Legacy, Columbus, and the Importance of Local

For decades, Pastor Jerry Revish was one of the main faces of Columbus' local news channel, 10TV (WBNS). During his career he told many stories, interviewing every day people to President Barack Obama. He's traveled the world, always finding a local angel on news to bring back to the people of Columbus. Jerry left TV news shortly after 10TV was acquired by Tegna in 2019, up until then, it had remained an independent station under the ownership of Dispatch Broadcast Group. During his life, he's also been a man of faith, becoming ordained and now running a church in Whitehall. In our interview, we talked about everything from his faith, to reporting, and more.
