    My bet would be Collin Myers for 3 & 4pm and Loresca at 11.

     

    Collin posted on his fb that he will be doing the 3 pm show Wednesday thru Friday and continue to do weekend mornings. So Monday and Tuesday will be someone else.

  2. At the end of this mornings "Morning News", Kala Rama announced that there was a 99% chance that today will be her last day, because for those who don't know, she's pregnant.

     

    With Betty out on maternity leave as well, the question becomes "who will occupy the seat"? Logic says Craig Treadway, but the days of 2 male anchors are history.

     

    Betty will probably be back Monday so likely she'll fill in for Kala from 4:30-6 in addition to her normal 6-9 schedule. Pretty much what Kala did when Betty was out did her normal 4:30-6 then filled in for Betty from 6-9.

  3. Per a Facebook video post Jessob Reisbeck is joining WJLA in Washington, DC as weekday morning co-anchor. He was most recently the morning anchor at WITI the Fox affiliate in Milwaukee.

  4. seems like he was the epitome of the new Tegna mindset...bring in a cheap thirtysomething no one's ever heard of but is good at Facebook and Twitter to replace a vet. What happened?

     

    Contract probably wasn't renewed. He stunk as an anchor so not surprised.

  5. I'm guessing Mark Wright will be back at anchoring at 7, 10 & 11pm even though he anchors at 5 & 6pm as well.

     

    Mark Wright went back to anchoring the 11 PM back in April when Take 5 launched. Greg Copeland has been anchoring 7,9 & 10 with Amanda Grace.

  6. Just saw a promo for a new show on Tegna Seattle affiliate King 5 it appears to be taking the place of the current 4 pm newscast and will be anchored by Jordan Steele, Angela Russell, Michelle Li & Chris Cashman in a The Talk & The View type setting. No word what will happen to current 4 pm anchors Amanda Grace & Mark Wright. Presumably Mark Wright will continue as noon 5 & 6:30pm co-anchor but will Amanda take over either the 5 or 6:30pm shows from Lori Matsukawa or will she just do the 7, 9 & 10 pm shows?

  7. He's a talented guy. Sad to see him go, though that morning beat reporting had to be a real grind. It's a shame that he never got any anchor fill in opportunities. My sense is that he would have excelled in the role. Any info on what his new job will be?

     

    He will co-anchor weekend mornings with Rosemary Connors and report throughout the week.

    Also KTRK in Houston is hiring Collins Myers as weekend AM meteorologist and it appears Elita Loresca is being bumped up to a M-F shift no word yet on if she's replacing Travis Herzog on the morning shows or Casey Curry on the 11am & 4pm shows.
