Would WUSA even hire him....if he even wanted to work again?

 

That would be his third station in DC after WJLA and WRC...


WUSA’s entire game plan is based on hiring anchors fired from other stations. The entire morning show is WTTG castaways.

Nah. They should’ve learned their lesson by now. They tried to play fantasy football with their morning show, hiring FOUR anchors away from Fox 5 and it basically propelled them from 5th place to 4th. 
 

Plus as far as main anchors go, Lorenzo Hall is pretty darn good.

Mitch Carr (remember him from NewsNation's Early Morning before it was cancelled?) is joining WDBJ 7 Roanoke. With this, and Jean Jadhon's retirement, there will be a shuffling of anchor lineup changes at the station.

 

This includes longtime anchor Kimberly McBroom moving to midday and 3pm.

You would have thought they would have rebounded after WJLA was tanked by Sinclair, but Tegna's gonna Tegna....

A reporter and photojournalist from WJZY got shot at while covering a story in Chester County, SC. Thankfully they're both ok. One person did get shot, and several men carried the victim to a vehicle and drove away. The condition and location of the victim is unknown at this time.

Lowkey thought his career was over, he vanished for a longtime. Good for him though!

Debated between putting this here or in the SportCenter, but at 90 years young, Lee Corso is calling it quits after almost 40 years at ESPN. Final telecast will be August 30, and ESPN says special programming will air in the days leading up to it.

 

Saturday mornings during Football Season won't be the same.

Emily Pritchard is Lisa Rose's replacement at KYTV Springfield, Mo. starting July 28th.

First, a departure: Nicolette Zangara will be leaving the station April 29th. While I was at UF, I would watch her forecasts so I vouch for her in her future.

Couple of departures from KTUL/KOKH. Yesterday was sports Director TJ Eckert’s last day after 7 years at KTUL. Tonight is Meteorologist Colton Williams last day at both stations. Both are planning to stay in green county but haven’t announce their plans. Well I should say TJ said he will announce later on down the road Colton isn’t for sure as to his next plans but is planning on doing social media weather updates still.

Update on TJ Eckert he is joining KJRH starting Monday as senior reporter/anchor and will be anchoring the 6:00/6:30 Extra Edition newscasts with Naomi Keitt.

After 32 years, it's an end of an era at WRAL-TV. Debra Morgan will be signing off on May 21st.

 

From the likes of Gaddy, Crabtree, Payne, and Owens, she's worked with the best of the best. Now, she'll be hanging it up.

WRTV's first new Chief in so long... Todd Klaassen.

 

He's the official successor to the legendary Kevin Gregory (and one half of the Gregory heir throne).
