Tyler 151 Posted December 14, 2009 Posted December 14, 2009 His last day on air will be this Friday. He leave to work at his own financial consulting business with ex-co-anchor Newlin Archinal. Full story here: http://www.post-gazette.com/pg/09345/1020073-67.stm
NewsJunkie247 1 Posted December 15, 2009 Posted December 15, 2009 I was never a fan of WPXI's morning news, but he wasn't a bad anchor. I wish him the best. I was, however, kind of shocked since has technically been planning his exit since 1998!
jestbiteme 13 Posted December 16, 2009 Posted December 16, 2009 Interesting that he's leaving to work with Newlin. Great testament to their off-screen relationship. I like both Bob and Newlin, but was never a fan of their anchoring styles. Maybe it's just 11's format; but they both came off as dry and sterile. Jennifer Abney is even worse. I wonder if she'll be able to carry the show, and along with whoever ends up being the new coanchor, their lead over KDKA. I think that Danielle Nottingham would have been a better choice for 11's Morning News, by the way. Just sayin'!

Tyler 151 Posted December 17, 2009 Author Posted December 17, 2009 WPXI announced his replacement today, Todd McDermott. http://www.wpxi.com/news/21991448/detail.html#

NewsJunkie247 1 Posted December 17, 2009 Posted December 17, 2009 will Peggy Santorum go next? Do you mean Peggy Finnegan?
Ntropolis 600 Posted December 17, 2009 Posted December 17, 2009 http://tinyurl.com/yel8oug Okay, Chris Kucinich, we get that you like to inject something political into everything possible...
NewsJunkie247 1 Posted December 17, 2009 Posted December 17, 2009 http://tinyurl.com/yel8oug Ok. I kind of thought it had to do with Rick Santorum.
Tyler 151 Posted December 18, 2009 Author Posted December 18, 2009 I don't understand how Bob leaving has anything to do with Peggy's political views/contributions.
SuitSnob 19 Posted January 2, 2010 Posted January 2, 2010 I've seen some of his work at WCBS and WUSA and he is an impressive anchor. Hell yes...he handled the non-stop post-9/11 coverage with aplomb, being on the air live for hours on end with no commercial breaks and no safety net. (he also is incredibly well-dressed)
