WOUB Honored by Tellys

WOUB’s documentary “The 8th Wonder: The Waterloo Wonders” was given the bronze honor by the Telly Awards.


The documentary, produced and directed by Cheri Russo, WOUB News managing editor and edited by Nick Parsons, premiered in November 2008 on WOUB-TV. The program tells the story of a basketball team from Waterloo, Ohio, who came from obscurity to take the Class B state championship in 1934 and 1935. The documentary shows how a small group of farm boys from Waterloo overcame obstacles to give hope to a region that had suffered greatly during one of the most difficult times in American history.
