The Bedford Historical Society is honoring one of Bedford’s most distinguished natives, Tim Taylor, with a special exhibit highlighting his extraordinary career in broadcasting. A member of the Bedford High School Hall of Fame, Taylor’s journey from a young baseball player at Bedford High to one of Cleveland’s most trusted news anchors is now on display.
The exhibit takes visitors through Taylor’s early years, his rise in radio, and his decades-long career in television with WEWS Channel 5 and WJW Channel 8. Throughout his time on the air, Taylor became a household name, known for his professionalism and dedication to delivering the news with integrity. Beyond journalism, the display also highlights his philanthropic work and enduring commitment to charitable causes. Today, he continues to enjoy life with his family, reflecting on a career that shaped Northeast Ohio’s media landscape.
In addition to the exhibit, Taylor will be honored with a Celebrity Roast on March 29, 2025, at the Sherwood Forest Party Center in Valley View. The event will feature a star-studded lineup, including Tony Rizzo, John Telich, Vince Cellini, and other media personalities, all coming together for a night of laughter and tributes. Proceeds from the roast will support the Bedford Historical Society.
Tickets are $100 per person, with no sales at the door, so advance reservations are encouraged. For more information about the exhibit or to secure tickets for the roast, visit the Bedford Historical Society’s website.
