Jerry Lambert
WICS Anchor/Reporter

Jerry is a veteran reporter/anchor who anchors the 5pm, 6pm and 10pm news along with Julie Staley and Elizabeth Wooley. He also hits the streets every day reporting on the people and issues affecting Springfield. He's been with NewsChannel 20 since 1995.

Jerry started his broadcast career in 1974 during an army assignment in Italy. He worked briefly as a radio DJ, eventually moving into AFRTS-TV.

Jerry worked at KMOL in San Antonio, Texas from 1981-1983, at WTHR Channel-13 in Indianapolis, Indiana in 1987, at WTTV Channel-4 in Indianapolis from 1990-1991, and at WTVT Channel-13 in Tampa, Florida from 1992-1995.

"I like the daily challenge. The chance to work with the public to make their community a better and safer place to live. I enjoy the cutting edge of news coverage, especially when it really matters to the people."

Jerry's hobbie is running, including one marathon and over 75 shorter races over his 20+ years of running. He feels it's a stepping stone to fitness and a longer life. "Plus, it helps organize my thoughts and gives me a sense of purpose and direction."

Jerry is married with 3 grown children.

Jerry attended high school in central Pennsylvania near Chambersburg in Franklin County.

"I like Springfield, It's a great place to live and work. The people are friendly and that helps make resettlement into this community a pleasant one."
