Jorge Estevez and Cynthia Demos are Office Spouses

The Miami Herald profiled ‘office spouses’ and featured CBS4 News anchors Cynthia Demos and Jorge Estevez.

The two say they instantly clicked when they worked together at WFTV-9 in Orlando and consider themselves to be an office couple.

I always thought they had great chemistry together, it shows on TV they’re friends. Too bad management split them.

Jim Berry Leaves Sports for News; New My33 Morning Show

Tom Jicha says Jim Berry is moving to ‘CBS4 News This Morning’ co-anchoring the newscast with Cynthia Demos.

From 7am to 9am Berry will be co-anchoring the CBS4 News on My33 with Jade Alexander.

The change takes effect June 16.

Little doubt this has something to do with WFOR’s ratings which weren’t so hot this past May sweeps. No word yet on the status of Jorge Estevez with WFOR

00:06 Update: Jorge Estevez stays with WFOR and will be reporting during the day Monday trough Friday. Marybel Rodriguez will solo anchor the weekend morning newscast.

Jim Berry and Jade Alexander will be anchoring a new My33 morning show that will be “essentially a show where morning radio meets morning TV. Viewers will still get the essentials: hard news, weather, and traffic.”

One of the radio guys, Tiny from 107.9, even had a little ‘40-year old virgin moment’ getting his whole back waxed and letting the whole spa know in the process. And what was with yelling “Oooh, yeeey”?!

Dwight Lauderdale’s Big Sendoff

WPLG is giving Dwight Lauderdale a major sendoff. There was a gathering at the station with the employees then a lunch at an area restaurant

The biggest surprise though was a live call from Gloria Estefan who wished Dwight well and also sent him a very delicious looking cake. Miami-Dade mayor Carlos Alvarez also made a pre-taped appearance wishing Dwight all the best.

Laurie Jennings said there will be more surprises during his final newscast tonight at 11pm.

Also, there’s a nice one on one video done exclusively for Local10.com in which Charlez Perez interviews Dwight Lauderdale about his early years in the TV biz and what it was like coming to Florida, first at WSVN then at WPLG.
