The most significant award in this local television news anchor's career is a regional career achievement award
[1]. It does not confer sufficient notability to meet
WP:ANYBIO.

Delete. A regional achievement award would be fine if the article were
reliably sourced well enough to pass
WP:GNG — but it isn't "inherently" notable enough to exempt him from having to be well-sourced just because the article has the word "award" in it. His own staff bio on the self-published website of his own employer is not an independent source for the purposes of establishing notability, and the only other source here is a glancing namecheck of his existence in his own employer's announcement of a network affiliation change, which means Bob Donaldson is not the subject of that source.

I'm noting the keep !vote from
SheHerHers who has added some material to the article but put the !vote in a comment on the page. She notes as well that, when the CBS Weekend News was produced from a rotating list of major network affiliates during COVID-19, Donaldson hosted for one of two nights when the newscast originated from WXIN-WTTV (
[2]).

Reproducing the comment by SheHerHers from the article, since I have now removed it:
KEEP - Please read new info and see video links - just think 40 years in a biz and 30 years in one market while anchoring on TWO NETWORKS (Fox and CBS) AT THE SAME time is unique. Agreed, there are many news anchors out there but these credits are unique to Donaldson. Perhaps a rewrite to highlight? She/Her/Hers
