26+ years ago a young tech began his career as Maintenance Engineer at WSLS. In time, Ricky Williams became our Director of Technology and so much more. His passion, commitment, leadership and friendship became the heartbeat of the station. Now we celebrate Ricky and wish him his best in retirement.

One the best, most dedicated, innovative, people caring leader I’ve ever worked with. Not to mention the load he carried for wsls from SD to HD, streaming, and all of the challenges throughout. We’ll done sir! The Roanoke valley and wsls team are better because of your leadership and commitment to being the news and programming for almost 3 decades! #thebest

Look at you rockin the OG “NewsChannel 10” polo! Still remember this pic hanging in the lobby! All the best! REM 3, 19, 34, 15 and 36 won’t be the same without you! (They probably don’t exist anymore but you get my drift)
