Fred Gadomski and Paul Knight of WPSX-TV's Weather
World Named Television Broadcasters of the Year
UNIVERSITY PARK, PA (April 9, 2003) - The Pennsylvania
Association of Broadcasters (PAB) has recognized several
PENN STATE PUBLIC BROADCASTING staffers for this year's
PAB Awards. Fred Gadomski and Paul Knight, hosts of
WPSX-TV's WEATHER WORLD, have been named Television
Broadcasters of the Year. The awards will be distributed
May 5 at the PAB convention in Hershey, PA.
"WPSX is proud to have the 2003 PAB Television
Broadcasters of the Year as part of our on-air team,"
said General Manager Ted Krichels. "We thank the
Pennsylvania Association of Broadcasters for this recognition
of the service Weather World has been providing to central
Pennsylvania."
Each year the Pennsylvania Association of Broadcasters
names a radio and a television Broadcaster of the Year
to honor those whose talent, leadership and contributions
help to improve the broadcast industry while continuously
offering a valuable service to their listening and viewing
public.
"PAB is the oldest of the state broadcast associations.
Ours is a state rich in history for broadcasting and
we are very proud of our honorees for 2003." WEATHER
WORLD offers a highly professional product and our state's
viewers benefit each day from its content and delivery.
Mr. Gadomski and Mr. Knight are consummate professionals
and we congratulate them and all who produce WEATHER
WORLD for this award," stated Richard Wyckoff,
president of the PAB.
Airing weeknights at 5:30 p.m., WEATHER WORLD has been
a popular fixture on the WPSX-TV for the almost 20 years.
WEATHER WORLD also airs on WVIA and WITF.
For many rural Pennsylvanians, WPSX-TV is the only
broadcast channel they receive without cable. In addition
to broadcasting a 24-hour program schedule to 29 counties
throughout Pennsylvania and southern New York, Penn
State Public Broadcasting (WPSX-TV and WPSU-FM) provides
faculty and staff of Penn State University with assistance
in the creation of multimedia devices including DVDs,
CD-ROMs, video and audio recordings.
