Bob Schaper will join E.W. Scripps’ WGBA-TV in Green Bay as news director starting Oct. 28.
Schaper is currently news director at WOWK-TV in Charleston, West Virginia. He will be filling a vacancy left by Ryan Scott, who moved to WTMJ-TV in Milwaukee, also owned by E.W. Scripps.
“Bob has a track record of success in driving increased ratings and shares across the newsrooms he has led while staying committed to quality journalism and storytelling,” said Jaclyn Clark, station manager and director of sales for WGBA. “He is a great fit for our newsroom and our mission.”
Schaper started out as a newspaper reporter. He got his first TV reporting job at WREX-TV in Rockford, Illinois. He worked at stations in Madison and Eugene, Oregon, advancing from reporter to anchor to assistant news director before moving to his current post.
