Classy lady; been watching her since she arrived way back in 2002. Her replacement has been named a few weeks back...

 

Also, here's the story on their website: http://www.13newsnow.com/videos/weather/2014/11/23/19442321/

Another Phoenix news anchor is out: Connie Colla' date=' currently at KNXV and one-time anchor at other stations (I know KPNX and somewhere in Philly), is going to start her own consulting firm.

 

What a week or two it's been in Phoenix. Can't recall this much instability in quite some time.

She was at WCAU. Fairly popular morning anchor.

At KTVK, another anchor out: Steve Ryan is leaving to become the main evening anchor at KVOA Tucson, replacing Tom McNamara.

 

Meanwhile, it looks like KPHO's Heather Moore will be crossing over to the vacancy left by Carey Peña. My goodness, this is the most anchor movement I can ever recall at once in years following TV out here.

 

And if that weren't enough, our favorite purveyor of Phoenix TV news material, Jim Heath, is returning to the Grand Canyon State from WBNS (destination unclear).

WHBQ weekend morning anchor & reporter Kristin Tallent announced her departure from the station Today. She is taking a job as Public Information Officer for the Shelby County, TN School District, which should ensure she remains regularly seen on Memphis television, but now across all stations.

Lawrence Karnow morning & noon meteorologist at San Francisco CBS owned station KPIX is reportedly out at the station:

Supposedly replacing him is Roberta Gonzalez who had been the weeknight meteorologist but was demoted to weekends when Paul Deanno arrived a couple years back.

Didn't see this mentioned anywhere, but Jim Kosek is leaving KCTV to be the new chief meteorologist down at WGCL. He's only been at KCTV for five months!

Someone posted it in the Markina Brown thread, but he apparently got the job because apparently the new ND who arrived in September had worked with him previously at KCTV and another station I believe.

KTSM's Noreen Jaramillo will be anchoring her last morning newscast today. She will remain in El Paso with family.

WTAJ morning anchor Angie Koehle had her last morning at the station this morning. She's moving to Phoenix with her family. She will be missed by the station and by all of the viewers.

Let me guess, KNXV will announce she will be their replacement for Connie Colla in 3...2...1?

My guess is no. She just announced she is pregnant and she already has a few kids. Her husband "was presented with an opportunity he couldn’t pass up" in the Phoenix area.

Any word on why KUSI swapped "Good Morning San Diego" hosts? Lisa Remilard was the weekend anchor and is now with David Davis during the week. Brandi Williams was the weekday anchor and is now with Dan Plante on weekends.

Probably ratings. It happened towards the end of October, I thought that Brandi was on vacation but then I saw her on weekends and I figured they swapped places. Good change though, Lisa IMO is a lot more energetic/engaging and better to watch, while Brandi comes across as an airhead most of the time.

Watch out, this may be a concept identity in the next few days... That logo needs serious help.

I don't know if this was already brought up, but Julie Gargotta announced recently on her Facebook page that she has left WGAL for a TV News gig in Orlando, though it was not mentioned which TV station she'll be working for. She'll be missed here in Central PA.

GM John Koski and ND Ken Jobe are gone from WHBQ. Cox wants to bring in their own people (of course)...

WILX in Lansing is losing lead anchor Jason Colthorp to WDIV Detroit where he will be an Anchor/Reporter. He has been with WILX since 2000. His last day at WILX is December 28 and he'll start at WDIV after the new year.

No, they're nothing spectacular, but for a semi-satellite that covers an area where nothing generally happens, they're alright.

They have two new hires basically the same role (Kimberly Gill (reporter/anchor)). Are they adding a new 4p.m. show if they don't already have one or somebody major leaving.

Good question. They have a 4pm show called "Local 4 News: First At 4" that has been on since 2007. It's a half hour show followed by Inside Edition and then comes the 5-630 news block. Where they are going with these two new hires I don't know although they do have a few folks that are in the twilights of their careers, including Carmen Harlan the lead female anchor at 5, 6 and 11 and Ruth Spencer at 4 (also the consumer reporter).
