WKRG's Gerhard Mathangani

WKRG-TV moved quickly in filling its vacant sports director/anchor slot, promoting Gerhard Mathangani to the position previously held by Simone Eli, who left the station to join WPIX 11 in New York City last weekend.

Mathangani joined WKRG in March of 2023 as a sports reporter/anchor and worked alongside Eli with the station’s “5th Quarter” high school football highlights show, as well as the recent “Southeast Sports Plus” digital show highlighting sports stories and personalities from the region. He also handled reporting and anchor duties for the station’s daily sports coverage.
