Both Jarvis Greer and Cassie Carlson are leaving WMC in Memphis. Cassie's last day will be this weekend; Jarvis will retire after 43 years on New Year's Eve. I wonder what will become of the sports department after this.

It's not WBZ she's going to. It's WJZ in Baltimore.

A bit of anchor shuffle at WMC in Memphis. You all know by now that Kontji Anthony will not extend her contract as weekday evening anchor at WMC. Her last day is set to be sometime in mid April.

Current morning co-anchor Joy Redmond has been promoted to co-anchor the weekday 5, 6, and 10pm evening newscasts. Weekend evening and weekday reporter Arianna Poindexter will become the new morning anchor. Weekday nightside reporter Keli Cook will replace Arianna's role.

WISN has announced it has appointed Bally Sports Wisconsin studio host Dario Melendez as new sports director. He replaces longtime sports director Dan Needles, which he retired last month after 32 years at the station.

 

Melendez is no stranger to the big 1-2, as he was the weekend sports anchor from 2010 to 2012.

KOKI FOX23 meteorologist Michael Seger has left the station after 14 years yesterday was his last day at 23.  He will be announcing soon where he will be going and doing.

Considering where that station's headed, I guess he wanted to get out while the getting was good.
