PTVNews 188 Posted June 27, 2022 Share Posted June 27, 2022 Christi Paul, anchor of New Day Weekend, signed off Sunday morning expressing a desire to move closer to family. Interestingly she said she has an on-air job in Ohio lined up with an announcement coming later this week. I wondering where she's going and who will take her place? 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ttvn2000 318 Posted June 27, 2022 Share Posted June 27, 2022 Since she says she is staying on-air, Cleveland is my guess. Curious as to which station and what role? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PTVNews 188 Posted June 29, 2022 Author Share Posted June 29, 2022 FTVLive is saying she is headed to WKYC: Quote Well, Tegna sources tell FTVLive that Paul is headed to WKYC to anchor a new 4pm newscast that hasn’t been announced yet. Word is that the station is trying to keep this quiet because Paul might be coming in and taking another anchor’s job. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ttvn2000 318 Posted June 30, 2022 Share Posted June 30, 2022 Not sure if this is the best fit, I was thinking WEWS. Argh - WKYC is already a bit “bloated” with talent, with Betsy Kling quasi-anchoring at 5, Laura Caso at 6/11 and poor Sara Shookman relegated to a half hour at 7pm… (Not to mention the presumably hefty price tag that comes with Jay Crawford and Russ Mitchell.) Now, with Christi at 4 - a new slot for 3, who is she “replacing”? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CLETVFan 363 Posted June 30, 2022 Share Posted June 30, 2022 I thought Christi would join WJW. She would fit in well there. It would be interesting to see who will join her at 4 on WKYC. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PTVNews 188 Posted July 5, 2022 Author Share Posted July 5, 2022 Haven't seen any confirmation from her yet but I came across this old article and she apparently was offered a "dream job" at WKYC back in the 90s. Quote Still when he got a job offer in 1996 to move from West Virginia to Boise, Idaho, and asked her to come along, Paul vacillated. She’d just been offered her dream job as the morning and noon news anchor at WKYC in Cleveland. https://www.ajc.com/lifestyles/health/life-with-gracie-cnn-anchor-opens-about-domestic-abuse/tq4izYQT3DjGZ84rAbreTO/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JoseRM303 169 Posted July 26, 2022 Share Posted July 26, 2022 She is indeed headed to WKYC: https://www.wkyc.com/article/about-us/former-cnn-anchor-christi-paul-joins-3news/95-9c9f6072-5147-4742-a191-f3e66eb634c3 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CLETVFan 363 Posted July 26, 2022 Share Posted July 26, 2022 She will be on the 5pm and 6pm newscasts, though there are rumors she will anchor a 4pm newscast. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
