KevCor 344 Posted July 30, 2014 Share Posted July 30, 2014 Longtime anchor of WVEC's morning show Daybreak is leaving the show after 16 years: https://www.facebook.com/WVECLaSalleBlanks/posts/756558484405278 He isn't leaving the station, but will be leaving the broadcast next Wednesday, August 6. No word yet on what he will be doing (new 4pm newscast maybe once final Katie episode airs?), or who will replace him in the anchor chair, though it's likely that Sandra Parker, Daybreak's current breaking news and fill-in anchor will take his spot.

Multi-media journalist = one-man band reporter = sometimes you'll have to go out without a photog and be expected to report, shoot, edit and front your story Gannett's legacy stations like to use the term "backpack journalist" for this but it's the same thing. If he was doing social media reporting they would blatantly say he's a social media or online reporter.

T.L. Hughes 883 Posted July 31, 2014 Share Posted July 31, 2014 Honolulu's KHON has announced that it is launching a 9 p.m. newscast on September 8, and has hired Howard Dashefsky (who had left the station in 2009) to be its anchor. KHON has aired its late newscast solely at 10 p.m. since joining Fox in January 1996, instead of airing newscasts at 9 and 10 p.m. like a few of the Big Three affiliates that joined Fox between 1994 and 1996 (not sure whether this had to do with the fact that KHON delays Fox's Sunday night lineup by one hour, but its probably one reason). http://www.mediabistro.com/tvspy/howard-dashefsky-returns-to-khon_b125895 Link to comment https://localnewstalk.net/topic/16860-out-about/page/57/#findComment-110728 Share on other sites More sharing options...

About the only thing they added when the switch took place was a replacement for the network newscast which many new Fox affiliates of the time did.

So, hiring Dash means that they will have a replaement when and if Joe decides to leave.

Said anchor left WTWO this week and the new station is supposed to make an announcement next week. Betting $25 it's WKRC for a variety of reasons. Stay tuned...
