WNBC ADDS CHRIS GLORIOSO; TIM MINTON MAY BE ON THE WAY OUT

 

Over the last couple of years several high-profile reporters and anchors have not been retained by WNBC. Recently, they did add to their staff.

 

Former WPIX reporter Chris Glorioso has joined WNBC. You may have seen Glorioso on Channel 4 during morning newscasts last weekend.

 

Meantime, a tipster tells FishbowlNY that Tim Minton (right) is rumored to be leaving the station. Minton, the veteran investigative reporter, has been with his WNBC since 1998. He is an 18-time Emmy Award winner.

 

FishbowlNY contacted WNBC this morning, but calls were not returned.

 

Minton’s bio remains on the station’s website.

 

Update: FishbowlNY has learned that Minton’s last day was Friday, January 7.
