UPDATE: More talent layoff news after the jump below.

Breaking news now confirmed by SFLTV.com: Major talent layoffs at WTVJ NBC6 today. Shocked tipsters are telling SFLTV.com that longtime anchor and South Florida icon/news legend Kelly Craig was laid off from the station early Monday afternoon. You heard right. The anchor that has been there since April of 1990 was laid off. Joining in this major round of lay-offs are weekday morning reporter Joe Carter, and Andrea Brody, the only female sports anchor at WTVJ. SFLTV is told that these layoffs were all most likely due to the economy.
Talent wasn’t the only cost-cutting item to go. SFLTV.com has confirmed that WTVJ has canceled the NBC6 weekend morning newscast.
We observed this “Tweet” by WTVJ executive producer Tammy Delgado, which seemed to originally confirm the suspicion of the layoffs:
“I hate today.. hate it.. hate it.. hate it!!!!!!!!!!!!!!”
Tammy would be the producer in charge of both Kelly Craig and Joe Carter. As of 3:30 PM on 6/29, their bios have been removed.

A Year Here
Almost a year ago, I joined the SFLTV.com staff (meaning, joined one other person) on this blog as a hobby. 167 (and counting) posts later, I’m still loving this hobby known as blogging. It’s just that, a hobby. Many of you may or may not know that I blog free of charge, as a hobby and something interesting to do in my free time.
I cannot explain how much I’ve learned over the past year. “Admin” as you all know him, has taught me a ridiculous amount about blogging in general, and the technical aspects that come along with it… and for some of our slower readers, YES there are two bloggers on this site. I swear, I don’t understand 98% of what he says… what with the “MYSQL’s” and the “PHP’s.” I just agree and say “ahh, interesting.” Whatever. I just write.
I’ve learned that you can’t just publicly call a reporter a diva, and ranting isn’t always the best route to go. The things you learn.
Anywho, I think I’ll stay a tad longer. I feel like I’d miss the mean comments too much.
