TheRob 937 Posted November 21, 2016 Share Posted November 21, 2016 What's going on with WEWS? It used to be a powerhouse but for the past 3 years, too many changes. One of their anchors was in our building for an audition recently. I get the feeling morale is low up there.

TriangleTriadMediaNews 267 Posted November 22, 2016 Share Posted November 22, 2016 is she going to another station in the market? "As fulfilling as my work here at WTTG has been, I am very excited to begin this new journey that involves my passions and will make a difference in our community. I am proud to have been part of such an awesome team of creative and motivated journalists." Also says she'll make her announcement about her plans soon. To me, that translates into her contract not being renewed. Link to comment https://localnewstalk.net/topic/16860-out-about/page/197/#findComment-162739 Share on other sites More sharing options...
