WTVJ’s Joel Connable will be anchoring Early Today on NBC for most or all of this week. The program airs in the wee hours of the morning, 4am I think.

Today is Shannon Hori’s first day at WFOR, taking over Maggie Rodriguez co-anchoring position on the 5p to 6p and 11pm weekday newscasts.
WPEC has a new news director. Coming from ABC/FOX in Springfield, Illinois David Christopher replaces Steve Hunsicker who left WPEC to join the Peace Corps. Christopher will assume bossing duties in July

Vintage WTVJ from New Years eve 1988 when they still were Channel 4. And Gerri Helfman … w-o-w … ‘dancing queen’ and Ru Paul just shot through my mind when I saw that hairdo!
Today Pam Giganti and Bob Mayer celebrated 6 years together on Today In South Florida. Dj Irie stopped by and let Pam and Bob spin on the turn table and the two anchors even danced a couple seconds to 50 Cent’s It’s Your Birthday
