Bob Hannon leaves WYTV

WYTV 33 sports director Bob Hannon has left the station following the newscast on Friday night (August 29th). He is moving on from “Big Board Sports” to become the new president and chief professional officer of the Youngstown / Mahoning Valley United Way according to a report on vindy.com. He will start there on Labor Day, September 1st. Bob has been part of WYTV for 20 years and has also been the voice of the Youngstown State University Penguins football program, calling all four of their national championship wins. In addition, he has also covered Ohio State University Buckeyes football program, coached by former Penguins coach Jim Tressel. His work on WYTV has won him numerous AP awards over the years and such work has provided him with contacts he’ll likely get in touch with for United Way fundraisers in the Mahoning Valley.
