At the time, Booth indicated his excitement at moving back to Columbus.
“What’s better is that I get to come work for the station that I, along with my family, grew up watching. My mom is really happy as well. Now she can watch her ‘baby’ on TV," he told TVSpy.
Neither Booth nor General Manager John Cardenas immediately returned calls for comment.
