anchorman 94 Posted March 22, 2011 Share Posted March 22, 2011 First Jodi Applegate, now Ron Corning. Today on Twitter, Ron announced he is joining ABC-affiliate WFAA in Dallas as the "Daybreak" anchor. He was very good on N12 Evening's, especially with Jodi. He's also fiitting well with interim evening anchor Lauren Sivan. It can't come as a huge surprise to N12, because they know why Jodi and Ron came here. However, chief meteorologist Bill Korbel was quoted as saying a few months ago that he thought Ron "would be with us for a while." Looks like Dolan has to find a new evening team. I'd love for them to hold back on to Lauren Sivan, but she has made it clear she's only interim.

TellyGenic 33 Posted March 25, 2011 Share Posted March 25, 2011 Maybe I'm just thick, but to me this seems a step down, no? To leave the #1 market as an evening anchor (is Long Island considered part of the NYC market or is it a separate area?) to be a morning anchor in a smaller market. Could someone with more knowledge of these things explain this? TIA.

I would have to imagine they are paying Ron more in Dallas. Plus, he has a history with ABC, so maybe he sees this as a possible launching pad back into a more prominent role with the net.
