<P> In 2017, longtime WEWS anchors Leon Bibb and Lee Jordan both announced their retirements from the station . Bibb had served as an anchor / reporter at the station since 1995 (coming over from WKYC where he had spent 16 years previous), while Jordan started at WEWS in 1987 as a co-host of The Morning Exchange before becoming an evening news anchor in 1993 . To honor their tenures at the station, WEWS renamed their newsroom the Leon Bibb Newsroom, and their main studio the Lee Jordan News Studio . </P> <Ul> <Li> Rob Powers--anchor </Li> <Li> </Li> </Ul> <Li> Rob Powers--anchor </Li> <Ul> <Li> Ernie Anderson </Li> <Li> Leon Bibb </Li> <Li> Nev Chandler </Li> <Li> Liz Claman </Li> <Li> Joel Daly </Li> <Li> Dick Feagler </Li> <Li> Dorothy Fuldheim </Li> <Li> John Hambrick </Li> <Li> Ted Henry </Li> <Li> Chris Hernandez </Li> <Li> Bill Jorgensen </Li> <Li> Paige Palmer </Li> <Li> Michael Reghi </Li> <Li> Michael Settonni </Li> <Li> Gib Shanley </Li> <Li> Wilma Smith </Li> <Li> Robin Swoboda </Li> <Li> Tim Taylor </Li> <Li> Matt Underwood </Li> <Li> Don Webster </Li> </Ul>
