Supposedly 3 blows everyone else out of the water ratings-wise at 4. Then again, they say they blow everyone else out of the water everywhere else, too.

TexasTVNews 1377 Posted February 21, 2014 Author Share Posted February 21, 2014 Remember I told you last night about Gloria Campos retiring from WFAA, well we now know who will succeed Gloria's seat. Courtesy of friends at TVspy WFAA made it official that News 8 Daybreak and rotating midday anchor Cynthia Izaguirre will take the helm at 5 & 10pm starting March 10th. Shelly Slater will now add the 4pm solo anchoring duties, she'll remain co-anchor of the 6pm newscasts. and Jason Wheeler will be moved back to the weekend evening newscasts in the first weekend in March. No official replacement named for co-anchor of News 8 Daybreak for now, will keep you posted.
