A special message from Sheri, " My career began in Wilmington at WECT-TV. I loved this community, loved working with an incredible team at that station. It truly was the best springboard I can imagine and set my entire life in motion. To be on the air with WGNI has felt like coming home. I’m honored and excited to have the opportunity to spend time with so many other professional women in New Hanover County - I’m honestly pinching myself at the way things have turned out."  – Sheri Lynch (The Bob & Sheri Show)
