It's rare that WSB will add someone from a last place station in the market even with her rich Atlanta History. Not necessarily Shannon Walshe & Tiffany Diaz once worked at 46 during the WGNX days and were reporters at WSB-TV. Tiffany was a freelancer. Also Lori Wilson works at WSB-TV, but was at WGCL before going to Indianapolis and coming back to Atlanta. 9 hours ago, JoseRM303 said: Likely 5 & 11 pm with Wendy Corona adding 6 pm duties in addition her 4 pm duties. I believe Wendy for the time being has been anchoring all of the evening shows. Linda Stouffer as well too was filling in. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's rare that WSB will add someone from a last place station in the market even with her rich Atlanta History. I mean what was also unexpected was Monica Pearson jumping ship from WSB and going to WGCL. Trust, it may have been rare for WSB to do that, but Coxpollo has no loyalties. Though, Karyn has staying power and a following and has been on Atlanta airwaves for decades. She's been a main weeknight anchor before at two different stations. She also has a history of being like a younger Monica in terms of her giving back to the community and her philanthropic projects. She's also hosted a radio show like Monica. So honestly this was a smart move for WSB, and she's more than earned her dues to move up to the number 1 station in their number 1 chair. Brenda Wood of WXIA said it best in the Rodney Ho article about Karyn, saying she was the most veteran anchor in Atlanta TV right now. That's not being facetious. She's been there since 1989, that's the most veteran news anchor in Atlanta TV right now. Everyone else has retired or died off. Jeff Hullinger at WXIA doesn't count because he was sports for longer than he was a news anchor. Edited March 10, 2022 by KentBrockman Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have been noticing a trend in the past couple of years where powerhouse stations are hiring from the competitors. Back in the day it was never that way, maybe the 2nd or 3rd place station hiring a personality from a 1st place. Again, Karyn is a staple in Atlanta Television and this is an excellent move. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jeff Hullinger at WXIA doesn't count because he was sports for longer than he was a news anchor. Despite WSB Cox/Apollo deal- WSB believes in getting talent from the competition and it has. John Pruitt had more than one stint at WSB and when he went to WXIA in 1978. He returned to WSB in 1994. Richard Belcher & Sally Sears both husband/wife worked at WAGA and landed at WSB and same with Pam Martin too. WSB plays for keeps. The one time WSB did get outplayed was both WSB & WXIA were courting Brenda Wood after she left WAGA. Brenda, thought she would end up at WSB and was rumor to succeed Monica a few years later. WXIA got Brenda while WSB was still making their deal. Karyn was weeknight anchor at 46 and weekend anchor -then morning anchor/reporter at WXIA, and returned to 46. I guess despite Karyn almost 60, WSB does see her as an asset to the community, but WSB is also playing a chess game too. Monica going to WGCL, but will get Karyn at WSB for all the gold. I agree with you and Brenda Wood, that Karyn is the most veteran anchor in Atlanta. Richard Belecher and Mark Winnie still on investigation beat at WSB. Russ Spencer at WAGA, and Hullinger at WXIA and news or sports. Hullinger been in the Atlanta market since 1984. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TexasTVNews 1373 Posted March 16, 2022 Author Share Posted March 16, 2022 Another veteran B-Ham anchor leaving. Longtime Birmingham broadcaster and current CBS 42 (WIAT) main anchor Art Franklin is leaving the station to pursue business interests. His last day at the station is Friday, April 29th. Birmingham CBS station will now soon be looking for a new main anchor. IMO, I believe that weekend evening anchor Michael Clark will be Art's successor. http://www.birminghamtimes.com/2022/03/news-anchor-art-franklin-to-depart-cbs-42-will-pursue-business-interests/?fbclid=IwAR1M4rpFi1ARWNEZbbKzk69N5uY93nZRFPTQTAgiaT-rUIGuq1X6A5o5zL4 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
