Expanded Role For WJCL Sports Dir. Frank Sulkowski

Hearst-owned ABC affiliate WJCL Savannah, Ga. (DMA 93) is expanding the role of its sports director, Frank Sulkowski, by having him join the anchor desk on Monday, Oct. 8.

The move places him with veteran weekday anchors Shannon Royster at 5 p.m. and Cassady Lance at 5:30 p.m. The move is an expansion to his current duties and will not affect his role as sports director.

“Frank’s commitment to telling the stories of Southeast Georgia and the Lowcountry is unparalleled — and whether that story is hurricanes, major breaking news or sports, he’s always been there,” said WJCL President-GM Timothy J. Morrissey. “We see this move as a great opportunity for Frank to share his best skills and formidable talents with our local viewers.”

“I’m so excited to begin a new chapter at WJCL,” Sulkowski stated. “My family and I love this area, its people and its stories. I’m eager to expand my role at WJCL and have a greater connection to Southeast Georgia and the Lowcountry.”

Sulkowski is a graduate of Georgia Southern University’s television and radio broadcasting program. Prior to becoming the WJCL 22 Sports Director in 2006, he worked at WPGA Macon, Ga., and WFXL Albany, Ga.
