JoseRM303 169 Posted September 24, 2016 Share Posted September 24, 2016 Diana Diaz and Christine Cruz are still holding ship with Alex De Armas anchoring at times. Vivan Gonzalez has the 7 Weather and Stephen J. Gray and Laura Lane team up for 7 FastTrak Traffic. They also have Omar Lewis and Lorena Estrada (anchors of the weekend morning newscast) reporting in the morning, throughout the week. Ashley Jones has left WSVN and I had no idea until looking at her FB page just now and apparently, she left in August. Which means the 4:00, 4:30, 5:30 and 6:30pm slot left by Danielle hasn't still been filled and Jeff Lennox has been filling-in in the meantime. And ever since former 'SVN-er Charles Billi left the station, Lynn has anchored with Reid Lamberty, some anchor after him in which I forgot and Danielle Knox. It was Mike Marusarz (known as Mike Marza when he was at WSVN) who co-anchored with Lynn Martinez. He now co-anchors the 5 & 10 pm newscasts at KSHB in Kansas City, MO with his wife former WFOR morning anchor Rhiannon Ally. Mike also co-anchors the 6 pm newscast with Christa Dubill. As for Lynn's new co-anchor just give it to Jeff Lenox. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ATL46 11 Posted September 25, 2016 Share Posted September 25, 2016 WGCL is returning to a Weekend Morning Newscast again... Details unknown at this time. also they are adding ANOTHER Met./Morning Reporter. the anchor will come from the current pool of talent at the station. Also either Jim Kosek or Jim Losnicka are fixing to leave. Hoping it is Jim that is leaving, his presentation just doesn't fit this station and it's direction anymore. Jim Losnicka would be a better choice. a great broadcaster and very knowledgeable about the technical terms of the weather. Time will tell over on 14th st. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

As for Lynn's new co-anchor just give it to Jeff Lenox. Oh yeah, that's right... Reid, then Mike Marza, then Danielle Knox and possibly soon... calling Jeff Lennox at 4:00, 4:30, 5:30 and 6:30pm. For now, he's still weekend anchor with Robbin Simmons, who's been anchoring weekends for at least 15 years now at 'SVN. 'SVN is the station that's home to longtimers in the market... Nerey, Stevens, Martinez, Simmons, Ferro, Shapiro, DiPasquale, Campbell, Cameron, Gonzalez, Diaz, Cruz, Fraiser, Linsalata, Lowe... I can keep going and going. 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But there are also some longtimers at other stations in South Florida WTVJ: Trina Robinson and Jackie Nespral WPLG: Todd Tongen (Was there in 1989 and hired off on Ann Bishop's Suggestion) and also Kristi Kreuger (guess you could put hmmm Laurie Jennings to the list who came back after WSVN) WFOR: Poor Poor Elliot and I think Al Sunhine. Maybe Barry Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ns8401 846 Posted September 25, 2016 Share Posted September 25, 2016 I can see Rhonda do the 4 and 6 and Kimberly the 5 and 11. How long has Rhonda been doing mornings anyway? Kimberly Gill was hired to replace Carmen and Carmen has been doing scaled back hours for a couple years. Never a question or contest for her replacement over there. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Maybe Barry Al Sunshine retired in 2013. WFOR has Hank Tester (ex-TVJer) and Peter D'Oench (WSVN 78-82, WPLG 89-04) though. Then there's Michael Putney at PLG. 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Samantha 2876 Posted September 28, 2016 Share Posted September 28, 2016 You want an interesting hire? KTAZ got a weather guy from Cuba. His last job was working at Telecubanacan, one of Cuba's telecentros (regional television services that produce some hours a week of local news and programming inserted into national television).

The other thing these stations have in common is they're both circling the drain.

When WEWS used to owned the market, and WOIO is looking better then there's a problem. 4th place is where WEWS should get used to. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

NEOMatrix 1295 Posted September 29, 2016 Share Posted September 29, 2016 Yeah I agree. When WEWS used to owned the market, and WOIO is looking better then there's a problem. 4th place is where WEWS should get used to. I agree. There's nothing to draw anyone to WEWS anymore, whereas WOIO at least has the Sony game shows and CBS. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

However Nexstar may actually do WIAT a favor and whatever is going on at WEWS will bump up WOIO.... WKYC easily can slide into a solid 2nd place and make serious gains at the expense of WEWS. Should WOIO rise to third place, it will be due to inertia. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
