Jed DeMuesy

Sports Anchor

Jed DeMuesy joined the WHIZ sports team in late June 2008, and is excited to be back in the area. Jed grew up in Massillon, about 90 minutes Northwest of Zanesville. Growing up, Jed was a lover of all things sports. He grew up in a football family, and followed in his dad and brother's footsteps on the Jackson High School football team. After realizing that his days of playing sports at a highly competitive level were over after high school, Jed set out to find a way to stay in the sporting landscape while in college.

Jed attended Miami University in Oxford, Ohio, where he quickly asserted himself in as much as he could when it came to sports. Jed was lead play-by-play commentator for football and basketball for WMSR, Miami's student radio station. Among the games he covered were the MAC Championship at Ford Field in 2005, and Miami-Ohio State at Buckeye Stadium in 2006. In addition to his work with WMSR, Jed also interned with Fox Sports Ohio, where he worked directly with Cincinnati Reds telecasts. Jed also spent time interning at WKRC-TV in Cincinnati, where he had the pleasure of working under Brad Johansen, the voice of the Cincinnati Bengals.

After obtaining a college degree in May of 2007, Jed headed north to the Upper Peninsula of Michigan, where he was Sports Director at the ABC affiliate, WBUP-TV. The "UP" provided Jed with a great opportunity to cover sports that might otherwise go overlooked, such as ski jumping, junior Olympic boxing, curling, and hunting. Jed left that position in early June of 2008, but a part of him will always be a Yooper.

In his spare time, Jed loves following his favorite sports teams. Growing up an hour south of Cleveland, Jed is a rabid Browns, Indians, and Cavs fan. In addition to the Cleveland professional sports teams, Jed is also a fan of Notre Dame football. It is safe to say that Jed is a more tortured sports fan than you. Jed also enjoys playing sports, working out, keeping up on his favorite television shows, and spending time with his family, specifically his two nieces and nephews: Maddie, Katie, Will, and JD.
