Ashbrock leaves WXIX (Cincinnati)

Kiesewetter writes in his blog about veteran producer/director and NATAS national awards chair David Ashbrock departing Channel 19 in Cincinnati:

Ashbrock has done just about everything in 27-1/2 years at Channel 19. He directed UC basketball and football games; the coaches’ shows; directed some 10 p.m. newscasts; designed the news graphics, mapping and opening animation; helped set up the new HDTV switcher and monitoring scheme; plus produced, directed and edited specials about the Cincinnati Reds, Cincinnati Zoo and the National Underground Railroad Freedom Center. He won 32 Emmys in 27-1/2 years.
