Paducah, Ky. NBC affiliate WPSD has promoted longtime sports reporter Adam Wells to sports director.
Wells will anchor Monday through Friday at 6 and 10 p.m. He takes over for former sports director Jeff Bidwell, who recently retired.
WPSD news director Perry Boxx said Wells was very deserving of the promotion.
“Adam has spent more than nine years covering the local teams and athletes in our region,” Boxx said. “He is uniquely qualified to lead sports coverage for us. He understands the pride communities have in their sports teams—and has demonstrated a strong commitment to covering their programs and telling their stories.”
Before joining WPSD in 2012, he worked as a weekend sports anchor in Jackson, Tennessee.
Sandlin
The station also promoted Blake Sandlin to weekend sports anchor.
Sandlin worked part time as a sports journalist for WPSD while at Murray State University. He came back to the station in 2021 as an MMJ who also covered sports after working in Evansville, Indiana.
