A co-anchor team on a Green Bay TV station are marking 25 years on the air together.
On Friday, Action 2 News (WBAY-TV) evening anchors Bill Jartz and Cami Rapson marked the milestone.
Jartz was already the station’s established sports director when Rapson arrived in Green Bay in 1993. After working her first year as a reporter, Rapson started anchoring the 10 o’clock news.
In 1998, an evening anchor position opened up, and Jartz decided to try moving from sports into news. Just a few weeks after their audition, station management paired the two together. Both said the connection and chemistry came almost instantly, and over those 25 years, Jartz and Rapson developed a genuine friendship.
“Think the one thing people say about it, and this goes back years and years and years, ‘You guys at Channel 2 seem to have a good time, you get along, you look like you like each other,’ and we do,” Jartz said.
“I don’t think I would have made it a career here if it wasn’t for him,” Rapson said.
This month, Rapson celebrated her 30th year at WBAY. Jartz is in his 40th year.
