Meet Marcus "Deacon" Donald, a combat veteran whose journey has taken him from the front lines to the front page of media innovation. As we chat with Deacon, we unearth the dynamic growth of Channel 13 under CEO Matt Grenier and delve into how a robust online presence is reshaping the Cleveland media landscape. Deacon's transition from military service to media stardom, fueled by his studies at Ohio Media School, offers a compelling narrative on adapting and thriving in a rapidly changing industry. We navigate through tales of community engagement, thrilling sports interviews, and the evolution of broadcasting, where traditional airwaves meet the boundless realm of the internet.
The thrill of sports and the roar of fans set the stage for our next segment, where we reminisce about Baker Mayfield's electrifying 2012 football showdown. Deacon's vivid recount and candid perspective on the Browns' quarterback carousel, including Deshaun Watson's polarizing arrival, ignite a fervent discussion about the team's future. We shift gears to talk about the Haslams' visionary investment in a state-of-the-art dome in Berea, anticipating the economic and experiential surge for fans and residents alike. Closing on a high note, Anthony Scrofano's musical magic at the Madhouse takes center stage, as we tease the anticipated transformations coming to 13 News and the local airwaves.
