Here’s a footnote on an earlier story: Former TV3 sports director Joe Downs is off to Lima, Ohio, as sports director of a larger station. (See http://www.wlio.com/staff/kozav.aspx). Downs had earlier played a role in the competition between Harrisonburg’s TV3 and Charlottesville’s NBC29, moving to to NBC29 as a sports and news reporter. NBC29’s website then reported: “Joe Downs comes to NBC29 with more than a decade of experience in sportscasting . . . his true passion is high school and college athletics. Joe has spent the last 5 and a half years covering sports in the Shenandoah Valley and looks forward to bringing his knowledge of the area to the NBC29 Sports Team.”
