"I’ve been fortunate in my career to work with/for outstanding people," Powers said, "and thanks to viewers, of course, for still watching after all these years."
Before coming home to Cleveland in 2016, Powers worked at FOX 40 News WICZ-TV in Binghamton, N.Y., WRTV in Indianapolis, 13ABC in Toledo, and ABC7NY in New York City.
