RGSJenkins 431 Posted February 7, 2009 Share Posted February 7, 2009 59-year-old Randy Price, the country’s first openly gay newscaster, was laid off. His last newscast was Wednesday, he was at WHDH for 12 years and before that he was at WBZ. http://news.bostonherald.com/business/media/view.bg?articleid=1150644&pos=breaking Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
eyewitness_news 5 Posted February 7, 2009 Share Posted February 7, 2009 This goes to show you that, in an uncertain economy, not even news anchors are immune to layoffs. Randy Price's abrupt layoff was like a stab in the back, if you will. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ntropolis 593 Posted February 7, 2009 Share Posted February 7, 2009 This goes to show you that' date=' in an uncertain economy, not even news anchors are immune to layoffs.[/quote'] Probably because Randy Price had a huuuuge six-figure salary...

ybYellow 2 Posted February 8, 2009 Share Posted February 8, 2009 Wow, that was a shock. At first, I thought it was a joke when I read it over at ProTV's MediaTalk board. But WOOOOOOW... I could see Khazei replacing him, as they stopped putting Lorch at the anchor desk this week... EDIT: And it would explain this image a whole lot better: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NewsMan 0 Posted February 9, 2009 Share Posted February 9, 2009 That pic is for the 10PM news on CW where the promote that page most of the time. Kim's been filling in on the 5,6 & 11 as well. Matt has been off the later shifts since Kim got the 10PM a few weeks ago, not even 5, 6 & 11 fill-in anymore. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ybYellow 2 Posted February 10, 2009 Share Posted February 10, 2009 I'm hearing that weekend anchor Brandon Rudat is leaving too. His last day may have been last night. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
