Anchor/Reporter

Sherman Desselle is no stranger to the Alexandria area. He is a graduate of Peabody Magnet High School and later of Northwestern State University in Natchitoches in Vocal Music Performance. "I never thought that I would be a reporter…and in my home town!" Sherman says.
He was offered a position as a part-time videographer in June of 2008, and by the end of the year, Sherman enjoyed the experience of being on both sides of the camera. By July of 2009, he was made our "One Man Band" reporter, covering the weekend news and NSU sports. His job duties now also include anchoring the weekend newscasts on News Channel 5. He loves the idea of always learning new things and generating the story from start to finish. He would like to thank Michelle Godard and his past and present colleagues for his first on-air experience and the helpful advice.
When Sherman is away from the station, he performs with his band mates in the Cenla area, and has been seen on stage with the City Park Players. He also enjoys going to concerts, traveling, and attending NSU, LSU, and New Orleans Saints games.
