Veteran Toledo, Ohio anchor Jeff Smith is joining the city’s CBS affiliate, WTOL.

Smith will join co-anchor Melissa Andrews, meteorologist Robert Shiels and sports director Jordan Strack on the weekday 5, 6 and 11 p.m. newscasts.

“I want viewers to know how I am not only honored to have earned their trust over the years, but also how fortunate I feel to have this opportunity to connect and reconnect a region that shaped who I am,” said Smith.
