nynewslover 277 Posted May 29, 2012 Share Posted May 29, 2012 Here is the article.. http://www.mediabistro.com/tvspy/wabc-news-director-stepping-down_b50068 I'm shocked and seems sudden.. I hope everything is ok with him. As for his replacement they have very fierce competition now from channel 2.. I hope they choose very carefully and someone that wont screw everything up.

NYNews 54 Posted May 29, 2012 Share Posted May 29, 2012 Retirement would be an obvious decision, but the article quoted him writing that he decided to look “elsewhere for career challenges.” Interestingly though, I remember a while back in the old forum, WABC fans who frequent the message boards mentioned that they didn't like him and he was going to be replaced.
