Fox O&O WOFL Orlando, Fla. (DMA 19) has named Sonni Abatta co-anchor for its 5, 6 and 10 p.m. newscasts.

 

Beginning July 20, Abatta will join Cale Ramaker and Amy Kaufeldt on Fox 35 News at 5:00 p.m and Fox 35 News at 6:00 p.m. She and Ramaker will co-anchor Fox 35 News at 10:00 p.m.

 

Before joining WOFL, Abatta spent six years with KDKA Pittsburgh. She began her career there as a reporter trainee and for the last four-and-a-half years was an anchor on the station’s morning and noon newscasts.

 

Prior to this, Abatta spent four years as a freelance sports reporter for Fox Sports Net in Pittsburgh.

So WOFL will have 3 anchors at 5 and 6? I don't get it -- especially when rumors have it that FOX O and Os will be very bare bones once LNS is settled.

It's a very interesting move I think Amy Kaufeldt is better suited for weekends with Keith Landry and leave Sonni and Cale for the weekdays. Can anyone look into this rumor that WOFL is adding a 9am newscast soon?

What happened to Cale's former partner on the evening shifts after Shelly?

Are You talking about Corrina Sullivan? well after she gave birth to her child she never did come back to WOFL

[NewsMan 0]

Yeah that's her I'm surprised she never came back.

According to Roger Simmons he said that she wanted to be a stay at home mom and decided to quit

must be nice to be able to afford that......

 

Yeah, I wonder what her hubby does for a living. I can't wait to see Sonni Abatta next week!! I think she'll be the new anchor hottie of Orlando.
