Tim Rigby (Broadcaster)


Tim Rigby is a long-serving sports anchor and Executive Producer for WJAC-TV in Pennsylvania, USA.

Rigby joined WJAC in 1981 as a reporter and weekend sports anchor. By 1982, he began anchoring the weekday sports segments at 11 PM. On December 11th 1996, he briefly left WJAC to take a non-broadcasting job in Johnstown, Pennsylvania, only to return to broadcasting less than a week later.

In 1994, Rigby was voted the #1 play-by-play man in Pennsylvania from the Pennsylvania Association of Broadcasters and the Associated Press for his coverage of the All American Amateur Baseball Association tournament. He has also reported play-by-play for the Johnstown Chiefs and other local events.

In recent years, Rigby has suffered a series of health problems. In February 2005, he was diagnosed with kidney disease and underwent a kidney transplant. A year and a half later in October 2006, he was diagnosed with Anaplastic Lymphoma. He underwent chemotherapy and returned to work on April 23rd, 2007.

Rigby has also recently been added as the five o'clock co-news anchor with Jennifer Johnson.
