WWL-TV drops Dawn Brown's contract

 

Posted by Dave Walker, TV columnist, The Times-Picayune April 23, 2009 5:31PM

 

The contract of WWL-Channel 4 weekend weathercaster Dawn Brown has not been renewed, and she has departed the station.

 

Brown, a UCLA graduate who joined WWL's weather staff in the aftermath of Hurricane Katrina, said Thursday evening that she intends to stay in New Orleans and pursue a higher degree with the goal of an eventual teaching career.

 

"I'll still be here," she said.

 

The station laid off several off-camera staffers a few weeks ago, but Chris Slaughter, WWL news director, said the move is not an economy-driven layoff.

 

"We are planning to replace her," he said.
