TVNewsLover 801 Posted September 12, 2017 Posted September 12, 2017 I would personally go with Leon Harris or Jim Handly. My money is on Jim Handly. Jim Handly already anchors at 5&11. I doubt they'll give him the 6 too unless he's moved off one of the other shows. My bets are on Leon Harris (he was the most frequent fill-in prior to Vance's death) with Chris Lawrence considered a long shot.

I know that will ring unpopular with the old school...but management is looking at this in dollars...not long term loyalty. Why renegotiate contracts and pay MORE..?? And when the outrage ensues...the station management will say... "There was just nobody that could ever replace Jim"....bla bla.. And we will believe them. Nine months down the line... the new hip metrosexual anchor will be quietly replaced by Leon or Jim....or whoever got dissed in this round. Cuz that's how they operate.
TheRolyPoly 2655 Posted September 12, 2017 Posted September 12, 2017 My money is on Jim Handly. Same here. Jim Vance only did 6 and 11 and Jim Handly should do the same. It would keep a 50-year tradition of a Jim anchoring the 6 and 11pm news at WRC-TV.
TVNewsLover 801 Posted February 13, 2018 Posted February 13, 2018 Sorry to bump an old thread, but has a permanent replacement for Jim Vance been named for 6pm?
abric 186 Posted February 14, 2018 Posted February 14, 2018 Not yet. Right now either Jim Handly or Leon Harris does the 6pm.
