Bill from Maspeth 33 Posted September 21, 2017 Share Posted September 21, 2017 Dray Clark is departing for NBC Philadelphia. I know Dray came from Philadelphia, but was it that same station? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

LarryFlick 26 Posted September 23, 2017 Share Posted September 23, 2017 I tuned into the 5pm broadcast this week and just missed an introduction to a woman who was apparently joining the team. She was at the desk with Diana and Sade. I'm guessing that she is a new reporter, but I haven't been able to find any info about it. Seemed unusual to have someone in studio at the desk for something like that. Any insight or details? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LarryFlick 26 Posted September 23, 2017 Share Posted September 23, 2017 Dray Clark is departing for NBC Philadelphia. 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? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Danielle Leigh is the new investigative reporter for the "7 On Your Side" team that includes Jim Hoffer and Nina Pineda. She fills the investigative reporter spot left vacant long ago when Sarah Wallace was forced to leave and before "7 On Your Side" encompassed both consumer news and investigative reporting.

Roadgeek Adam 170 Posted October 5, 2017 Share Posted October 5, 2017 So we lose Lori and soon Dray Clark, and gain Danielle Leigh and Derick Waller. Wonder if he's doing mornings. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's like 2017 is already troubling for them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

anchorman 93 Posted October 17, 2017 Share Posted October 17, 2017 Wow, I hope Sade makes a full recovery. We all remember that horrific hit and run she was a victim of while reporting for the 11pm show. http://www.wbaltv.com/article/sade-baderinwa-talks-about-accident-that-nearly-killed-her/7047764 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Vlad 276 Posted October 18, 2017 Share Posted October 18, 2017 Wow thats unfortunate.. . Sade already had a major injury which she pretty much almost died from as well and now this. She's endured a lot of pain and tragedy throughout her life, so I hope this doesn't bring down her morale. She's a strong class act woman though so I'm pretty confident she will recovery. But this time it seems like its not job related so thats really unfortunately. Hopefully she makes a speedy recovery. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
