EDIT: Jim Loznicka has left WGCL as of this week. Kosek remains... for now. also Meghan Packer's name has been floated around as a Weekend Morning Anchor. nothing known about who will do weather as of now

Add Willard Shepard and Ari Odzer, both came in the early 90's for WTVJ

WGCL is returning to a Weekend Morning Newscast again... Details unknown at this time. also they are adding ANOTHER Met./Morning Reporter. the anchor will come from the current pool of talent at the station. Also either Jim Kosek or Jim Losnicka are fixing to leave. Hoping it is Jim that is leaving, his presentation just doesn't fit this station and it's direction anymore. Jim Losnicka would be a better choice. a great broadcaster and very knowledgeable about the technical terms of the weather. Time will tell over on 14th st.

WMAZ Weekend Sports Anchor Wes Blankenship is joining 11Alive's Sports Department starting later this week, his last newscast on WMAZ was last night

Pretty Much, WMAZ came in 1953. WMGT (WCWB Intially) came on in 1968. WGXA in 1982. WPGA in 1995

Cause WMAZ has the foundation and Experience and the Books to do it right. WGXA had a Crappy owner in Frontier who put a new set in 2010 but not new cameras and Live trucks and control room upgrade. Sinclair owns them now and obviously is not in any hurry to upgrade WGXA to HD news. Poor WMGT had no news from 1992 - 2004 and then didn't go HD till 2 yrs. ago with a vitural set (mind you all of Morris Comm. is going to this model) even then, they have always been short staffed and way under experienced compared to WMAZ and even WGXA. Dont even start on the Rathole Stinkpot of WPGA. Lowell Register is the Definition of CHEAP

apparently things are worse for WMGT then i thought, First Morning Met. Marco LA Manno left 2 months ago to go to SNN in Sarasota, FL Kristen Kennedy is his replacement then Chief Meteorologist Chris Simmons Left 2 Weeks ago, No Replacement has been named then just last week, 2 days before Taylor Terrell's death, Weekend Anchor/Reporter Alexa Rodriguez is leaving for a station in Greenville-spartanburg SC in August. (WHNS is that Station) Plus their Longtime Chief Photographer Robert Hughes Died last month http://www.41nbc.com/2016/06/27/longtime-41nbc-chief-photographer-dies/?utm_source=dlvr.it&utm_medium=facebook Tough Times indeed for WMGT. plus right now, they are WAY Under Staffed then Most Small Market Stations Right now. 3 News Anchors (1 Morning and 2 Evening), 1 Full Time Reporter, 2 Mets. (Mornings and Weekends) and 1 Sports Anchor/Reporter

I heard something about her coming here, but maybe as Keith Whitney's replacement on Weekend Evenings, they still have Blayne Alexander working Weekend Mornings and Evenings right now, time will tell, maybe putting shiba on mornings till Brenda Wood does retire and move shiba to evenings, just a thought

just noticed that WSB-TV Weekend Anchor Matt Belanger has left WSB, Richard Elliot and Dave Huddleston has Filled in alongside Wendy Corona, Other Possibilities include Former Weekend Anchor Tom Regan and Investigative Reporter Richard Belcher also of note, WXIA has note announced Keith Whitney's Weekend Anchor Replacement, Weekend Morning Anchor Blayne Alexander has been anchoring mornings and evenings, Jeff Hullinger, now the Primary Weeknight Anchor has been alternating Weekend Mornings and Evenings with Blayne though, other Anchor choices include Valerie Hoff or possibly Ryan Kurger posibly

WFXL is 16:9 SD, done under barrington

They've already hit WXIA, The Atlanta Journal-Constitution states that WXIA's weekend anchor Keith Whitney(1993), educational reporter Donna Lowry(1986) and reporter Kevin Rowson(1994) are taking Tegna buyouts. It also stated that four photographers at the station are also taking buyouts. Also note that Business/Consumer Editor/Help Desk Reporter Bill Liss was also eligible but Declined and will Continue to work for 11Alive for atleast to near future. Jon Shriek(1979), Jerry Carnes(1986), Brenda Wood(1997), Chris Holcomb(1990), Jaye Watson(1999), Valerie Hoff (1999) and Jennifer Leslie (1998) were not offered but were eligible for the Buyout

Wonder who will Anchor Weekend Evenings now... Valerie Hoff is the 1st name that comes to mind, maybe Blayne or even Jeremy Campbell or could possibly somebody outta left field or a new hire like WSB and WGCL always seem to do? Also they know if they offered Jon Shriek the buyout and he took it, Doug Richards would be right behind him probably, Richards came in 2007 after 21 yrs. at WAGA Fox5 Also note that Business/Consumer Editor/Help Desk Reporter Bill Liss was also eligible but Declined and will Continue to work for 11Alive for atleast to near future. Jon Shriek(1979), Jerry Carnes(1986), Brenda Wood(1997), Chris Holcomb(1990), Jaye Watson(1999), Valerie Hoff (1999) and Jennifer Leslie (1998) were not offered but were eligible for the Buyout

They Have a Listing For A news director is in-house news is coming soon indeed, we shall see

so when is mike on now? Mornings, Night, Weekens?

how come it is just now coming out?
