EVVTV12 141 Posted June 13, 2022 Share Posted June 13, 2022 (edited) WAVE announced Friday that they will be moving around anchors starting Monday. Shannon Cogan is leaving evenings to anchor WAVE Sunrise. Connie Leonard is leaving Sunrise for the WAVE Troubleshooter team starting next Monday and Brian Shlonsky to evening reporter start this Thursday. WAVE hasn’t said who will be co-anchoring (if anyone) with Cogan. For those haven’t kept track, WAVE Sunrise has been losing viewers since Lauren Jones was cut by the station in 2020. WDRB currently holds first place in the mornings with WLKY I believe in second place followed by WAVE and WHAS. Anyway, here is the full statement from WAVE. https://www.wave3.com/2022/06/10/exciting-changes-coming-wave-news-staff/ Edited June 13, 2022 by EVVTV12 Link to comment https://localnewstalk.net/topic/16860-out-about/page/478/#findComment-274172 Share on other sites More sharing options...

tyrannical bastard 3955 Posted June 14, 2022 Share Posted June 14, 2022 On 6/8/2022 at 2:13 PM, Greggo said: It appears those rumors from FTV and others about Sinclair moving KFDM/Beaumont to WOAI/San Antonio aren’t true. KFDM broke ground on a new building today, which will replace the current one, which has been condemned by the state as part of a freeway expansion project. KFDM is moving to the opposite side of town from where they are now. Building will open next year. https://www.facebook.com/79318758755/posts/pfbid02mSyNoF7zsEBMuX4VfAiEWTQVYNbpF29BtFuJzzRUqiQMzsEuamjvAX2dfgWTRGWVl/ That's good to hear. I figured that a potential move to San Antonio would be overkill, especially since that operation handles their 3 stations and does news for Winston-Salem. Hopefully they were compensated well for the eminent domain to overtake their current facility.

PelicanGuy 117 Posted June 16, 2022 Share Posted June 16, 2022 (edited) WVUE evening anchor Kim Holden announced her retirement during the 5 pm newscast today. She started at the station in 1988 as an intern, then worked her way up to the evening anchor desk, where she has been for the past 12 years. Her retirement is effective in a couple of weeks.

That's fine with me but Channel 31 is the same Telemundo signal three times over to cover three different areas. Replace three low power signals with one full power signal across the whole market. If NBCUniversal went for this change, the FCC would so approve it in a heartbeat.

Nice to see Leigh Brock back on the air and filling in at WSOC. Wish it would be a permanent hire. Seems like a mistake for Gray to release her from WBTV. She was well liked and did a good job. In Greenville-Spartanburg WHNS-21 anchor Cody Alcorn has announced he is leaving FOX Carolina and moving to Atlanta for personal reasons. No apparent plans yet to transfer to Gray sister station WGCL-CBS46, or FOX5 Atlanta. He has been a mainstay at WHNS for 16 years. Future plans yet unclear.

I know Telemundo has other low-power O&Os to their roster but I think they should give more priority to it's newer Florida O&Os because of the Hispanic population throughout the state, especially in the areas it broadcasts in: Tampa Bay, Central Florida and yes, even Southwest Florida IMO should count towards this.
