Pete Gilbert, a native of Damascus, has been named the fourth Sports Director in the Baltimore station's history. He began his career as an intern at the station in 1995. After on-air stints at KECI in Montana, KHBS in Arkansas, and WGAL in Pennsylvania, Gilbert returned home to WBAL in 2004. He is a three-time recipient of the National Sports Media Association’s Sportscaster of the Year award.
"WBAL-TV 11 Sports Director is a position defined by history and prestige, and I am deeply honored to step into this role," Gilbert said in a statement this afternoon. "I am especially grateful to [outgoing Sports Director] Gerry Sandusky for his mentorship over the past three decades. From the Ravens and the Orioles to college and high school athletics, sports have a unique way of bringing our communities together. It’s a privilege to share those stories with our viewers every day."
