Celebrating 70 Years: Gary Sieber reflects on WNDU’s 7 decades of serving Michiana
SOUTH BEND, Ind. (WNDU) - Today is a special day here at WNDU! On this date in history — July 15, 1955 — WNDU became a commercial television station in Michiana.
And who better to have on the show to talk about WNDU’s seven decades of serving Michiana than longtime WNDU employee Gary Sieber?
Best known for Saturday morning weather poetry (“The Weather Could be Verse”), Gary has worn many different hats here at WNDU since 1980.
He joined Caroline Klapp on WNDU 16 News Now at noon to look back at his time here at WNDU and tell us why this place is so special. You can watch their full conversation in the video above!
