tyrannical bastard 3931 Posted August 13, 2021 Share Posted August 13, 2021 On 7/30/2021 at 10:14 PM, tyrannical bastard said: I''ve noticed that Tom Lewis has been putting himself on the air. Prior to his stint as News Director at WMBB, he spent 13 years at WJHG as their primary anchor, and even doubled as the News Director for about 5 years (from 2005-2010). He also was a longtime morning show co-host on WPAP radio. And prior to his time at WJHG, he anchored at......WMBB. Could history repeat itself again? As it appears, yes. Tom Lewis is anchoring the evening newscasts with Amy Hoyt. AGAIN. https://www.mypanhandle.com/author/tom-lewis/ Tom and Amy anchored the news together from 1994 to around 2001. Amy Hoyt began her career at WJHG in the 70s and switched to WMBB in 1994, and has been there ever since. I don't know if any market has ever seen as much crossing the street (or the Hathaway Bridge) as Panama City. There are lots of on-air personalities who have worked at both stations, multiple times. I'm sure on-air contracts and non-compete clauses are more prevalent these days, but it still happens to this day.

Ranchyankee 0 Posted August 14, 2021 Share Posted August 14, 2021 Sorry to be the breaker of unfortunate news. Jon Chrisos has left WGME CBS 13 after 10 years with the station. Best continued success to him and his family on his next adventure whether in journalism or another career profession. He was truly respected, kind, and well-liked by both WGME and everyone who got to speak with him and saw him in Maine, and all Mainers. He made several positive and effective impacts in Maine. God Bless Jon Chrisos, Amen. https://wgme.com/news/local/after-10-years-jon-chrisos-says-goodbye-to-wgme Link to comment https://localnewstalk.net/topic/16860-out-about/page/458/#findComment-263441 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chase29 16 Posted August 16, 2021 Share Posted August 16, 2021 (edited) In Denver. Michelle Griego has returned to KCNC as morning anchor of today. She replaces Britt Moreno who went to KXAN in Austin. Also, it was announced that Ashley Ryan would be replacing Meagan O'Halloran who left KDVR to join Sinclair's The National Desk. Ashley was also supposed to have her first day today on air at KDVR but when I tuned in this morning Shaul Turner was Anchoring with Kirk Yuhnke. I'm not sure if something ended up getting delayed or perhaps maybe Ashley is going to start with the 11 am newscast. Ashley came from KOTV in Tulsa, OK.

TheRob 937 Posted August 16, 2021 Share Posted August 16, 2021 It looks like Gray Television is now mandating the COVID-19 vaccine for all employees, not just the new hires.

She'll also do investigative and breaking news reporting. Her tweet teases that she could do some forecasting as well, as she's completing her BS in meteorology at Mississippi State.
