By Kevin Eck 

WLBT sports director Rob Jay signed off from the Jackson, MS, NBC affiliate after more than 22 years on Friday.

Jay started at WLBT as a reporter and photographer in 1991. He was named sports director in 1996.

Jay will work for Jackson State University as GM of its TV and radio stations. He told The Clarion-Ledger, “As you can imagine this was a very difficult decision to make after 22 years at WLBT.”
