Tonight is Greg Peterson's final newscast at WPMI NBC 15 in Mobile. 

He is stepping aside to work at the restaurant he co-owns with his wife, and to concentrate on his involvement in a mortgage company he is a partner in.

It will be the end of an era when one or both retire as they've been the only duo since I started following the news.

Definitely well deserved, and I think its a first in the market, First Black Woman Chief Meteorologist, she would've been my choice as well! I am surprised, because I definitely thought Bryan Van DeGraff and Steve Rudin (Who has been at WUSA, WTTG, and now WJLA) would've had the position!

I wouldn’t be surprised to see them retire together…and you’re right, that would officially mark the end of an era in the Toledo market.  Diane bridges the generational gap between “legends” like Gordon Ward/Don Edwards/Jeff Heitz and the current state of Toledo as a “starter market” for TV.  

 

Diane Larson is SOLID.  She brings a level of class to the Toledo market that will never be seen again.  When Diane and Lee retire, I speculate that the playing field levels a bit with WTOL. (Especially if WTOL keeps the Melissa Andrews/Jeff Smith pairing going - though Melissa Andrews is NO Diane Larson, or Chrys Peterson for that matter…but I digress.)

I wonder what happened here. Just because Tegna is in limbo they couldn't meet her salary demands? Not looking quite as hot as she used to?

 

Her husband works for the Baltimore Orioles. I wonder if she's going to work for Sinclair.

I thought maybe because she had kids back-to back.  They should get Jeff Booth back. I'm loving this- how the mighty has fallen at Twin Rivers Dr.

My first thought was...Good lord!!

 

Between the illness/death of Chris Bradley four years ago this month, and then the Mike Davis scandal and now this...another sign that the once-mighty 10TV has fallen on hard times.

 

We might need to hold a séance and reach out to the legendary "American Dream" Dusty Rhodes so he can cut a new version of his classic promo just for them...
