Will Lewis posted on Facebook that this weekend will be his last weekend anchoring and his last day will be March 31. He is going to a station in Charlotte. 

Another hint that Bryan may have already left the station. The video announcing his debut as sports director has been taken down from WFMZ.com. Also Wendy Davis posted this photo as her cover photo on Facebook June 8

Notice anyone cropped out?

 

Wow, had no idea Rick Edwards was gone! My mother mentioned that there was a new traffic reporter and they were struggling a bit on Monday.

 

 

 

Monday was her first day so that might explain it. She is pretty decent though for it being her first week. She just needs to use the camera feeds more. Most of the time her reports just consists of the traffic flow maps and drive times.

They have a new women Jacqueline Thomas doing the traffic reports in the mornings. She is also a meteorologist and does morning weather reports for the Accuweather Channel. In a first for WFMZ, she is doing them in front of the green screen. Jeff Bolden still does the traffic reports in the afternoon from the traffic center upstairs. I still find it a little strange that Rick Edwards didn't have any kind of farewell from WFMZ after being there almost 10 years. They always let viewers know when someone is leaving even if it is just a post on Facebook on their last day. He just disappeared and it wasn't even mentioned that he left until last month during an ask the anchors segment where it was said he was no longer at the station. Just a quick mention and they quickly moved to something else.

 

I still don't understand why they don't use Jim or Melanie as subs for the 5,6, or 10 when Rob or Wendy are off. Haven't noticed if the 4pm uses any subs

 

 

I've seen Meghan Packer sub on the four o'clock on occasion.

Just a heads up tomorrow February 16th is suppose to be the debut of the noon show from the new PPL Center studio. The noon newscast will be broadcast from the studio everyday, the other newscasts will continue to be broadcast from the main studio on South Mountain.

 

I'm not sure who is taking over the Saturday morning show ... unless they keep doing that as well?
