Tomorrow Last Day for Brian Andrews at WFOR

Brian Andrews signs off from WFOR tomorrow, Wednesday the 28th.
In the morning he’ll be on The Footy Show on WIOD 610 – sometime between 09 and 12pm. He leaves for Caracas on Friday.

And since he’s freelancing chances are high we’ll be seeing him on stations other than WFOR as well.

Tom Haynes To WAGA?

Last week a few people emailed saying some rumor sprung up about Tom Haynes leaving WSVN for WAGA in Atlanta. I still can’t tell 100% if it’s true but at this point it leans more and more to a yes. He joined WSVN in 2002 from WDIV in Detroit.

Update: Confirmed. He’s leaving WSVN, going to WAGA, anchor of the 11pm newscast. Last day is this Friday 11/23/2007!

Who will take his place?

Jeff Weinsier Arrest: All Charges Dropped

Assistant State Attorney Maggie Gerson who’s in charge of Jeff Weinsier’s case has decided all charges should be dropped. She concluded that the sidewalk was not school grounds (he was arrested on the road actually) and that the officer’s commands were not legal because there were other people on that sidewalk that weren’t told they must go across the street.

Since Weinsier was on a public sidewalk he couldn’t have been trespassing thus the charges of trespassing have to dropped and “anything that was found on the defendant after he was arrested will be suppressed as a matter of law” therefore the gun charges also have to be dropped.

The charge of disrupting school function also did not apply because the students had already been dismissed when the arrest took place.

Gerson relied on WPLG’s footage from the incident.

Conan Stalker Shows up at WHDH


Rev. David Ajemian, the priest accused of stalking Conan O’Brien, showed up at WSVN sister station in Boston WHDH this Saturday demanding to speak to an employee he had been sending emails to.

According to a WHDH report Ajemian became very aggressive and another man who accompanied him had to push him out of the 7News lobby.

Ajemian was arrested last week at the NBC studios where the Conan
O’Brien show is taped. His father posted the $2500 bail and took him home. Rev. Ajemian went missing around noon on Saturday, then showing up with another male at the WHDH studios in Boston
around 4pm that afternoon. By 7pm he self-admitted to a hospital for observation.
