Meet The Team

Bill Hormann

The hours are unpredictable, an entire day's work can change in an instant, and you never know what big story is going to break next, but that's why being a broadcast journalist is exciting. Ever since I was 6 years old, I knew I wanted to be a journalist of some sort. At first I wanted to be a weatherman, then I wanted to be a sports broadcaster. But my interest in history and politics led me to a career as a newsman.

I've been fortunate in that I've done just about every job a journalist can do. I've shot and edited my own stories, produced my own newscasts, anchored news and sports, was a weatherman for 9 years and I've hosted a political talk show on a national TV network. I've broadcast live, underwater, from a German U-boat, produced and reported several documentaries, interviewed nearly every U.S. Senator and every Congressman and traveled to cover stories like hurricanes, Tim McVeigh's execution and political conventions.

My wife Peverley and I moved to Toledo in November, 2000. I was the main anchor at WTOL, but in this business the only constant is change and WTOL and I parted ways.

We could have moved back to Washington, D.C., but Peverley and I love Toledo and the people and everything the city is doing to revitalize downtown. I'm very pleased to be with a station like WTVG. I truly believe we produce the best newscast in the market.

Peverley and I married in October, 2001. We have two cats, Dutch and Wink (a one-eyed stray). No kids, but the cats keep us busy& what with the feeding and cleaning up after them and all.
