Longtime WKYC anchor-reporter Eric Mansfield is leaving the Cleveland NBC-affiliate for a job at Kent State University, according to the Cleveland Plain Dealer.
Mansfield joined WKYC in 1994 as an Akron reporter. He will continue to be a weekend anchor and weekday reporter for the station through May.
