​The kid from Rosedale who used a wooden spoon as his first microphone went on to spend 37
years in your living room. Morning, noon and night he reported the news in his hometown for
WMAR-TV. For four decades, Jamie had a front row seat covering history, like the visit from
Pope John Paul II, Cal Ripken’s historic 2131 streak, two Super Bowl wins with the Ravens, and
the Key Bridge collapse. When not on air, he was on stage emceeing for various groups and
charities. Even after all these years, there are stories that need to find a place in your heart -- the story of triumph, of beating the odds and inspiring others. Now this Emmy award-winning TV news anchor and NATAS Silver Circle honoree has joined his wife’s company, CosTELLo
YOUR STORY, a place where positive stories live. Don’t you think it’s time to tell your story?

Cheryl Costello grew up in Bowie, MD and watched Washington, DC TV. She told her family,
“One day I’m going to make it there.” And she did. After stops at WHAG-TV in Hagerstown, MD, WEHT-TV in Evansville, IN, and WMAR-TV in Baltimore, MD, she reached her lifetime goal of working in DC for WJLA-TV. If Cheryl knocked on 10 doors, she would knock on one more if it meant getting to the heart of a story. One report on sex trafficking lead then Governor Martin O’Malley to use it as a training tool for law enforcement. Once her two sons were born, life switched, and she went to work for Chesapeake Bay Magazine where she told beautiful stories from the water helping viewers learn about their natural environment. Cheryl served as a consultant for the American Apparel & Footwear Association and Burford Capital, landing the CEOs on multiple networks, including CNN, CNBC and FOX Business. Cheryl is a FAA-
licensed drone operator. Storytelling is at the heart of everything she does, and that is why she
started CosTELLo YOUR STORY.
