“Bill has quickly earned the respect of people in our newsroom and can often be found helping and developing other reporters,” added Shannon Booth, vice president and general manager of the stations that serve the Nebraska cities and areas surrounding Lincoln, Grand Island, Hastings and Kearney.
Schammert grew up in Lincoln and interned at the Gray-owned NBC affiliate. He previously worked as a reporter-anchor at KOKH in Oklahoma City.
