jestbiteme 13 Posted May 17, 2009 Share Posted May 17, 2009 http://blogs.tampabay.com/media/2009/05/twentyyear-veteran-frank-robertson-to-retire-from-wtvtch-13-.html#comments I have to say, it's kind of a sad announcement. I've always enjoyed Frank's anchoring and reporting, but I'm sure he enjoys some time off to enjoy life, too. This business is hard on anybody. Good news lies in the fact that we'll get more Kathy Fountain, and Cynthia "TPI" Smoot will make a fresh, welcome addition on the 11PM desk with Mark Wilson. Good luck in wherever your travels may take you, Frank! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
