Andre Hepkins…. and Chez Pazienza!
Andre Hepkins – He was former Miami reporter at WSVN, allegedly ”let go” from WNYW in New York a few months back and now interviewing for a reporter position at NBC6. He was there Friday.
Possible: Chez Pazienza -He was the former producer at CNN and WTVJ. Allegedly fired from CNN for posting blogs that were critical of the news business and his bosses. He was at WTVJ on Friday. If he did take a position there, it would most likely be for the assistant news director or executive producer’s position. Not sure which.
According to sources, he was talking to Yvette Miley about possible open positions.
This is rather old news, but I just noticed it. NBC6 has changed their “Weather Plus” channel from being “NBC6 Weather Plus” to the new O&O way: “NBC Plus”.It looks like the photo above, and the structure is still the same. The only thing missing is the national reports.
Okay, so to prove that there’s really no hard feelings, I thought i’d plug Tisha’s blog. It’s actually pretty good stuff. NBC6 reporter Tisha Lewis went to the inauguration in style as a “normal person.” She ventured to the nation’s capital… joining millions of people from across the country and around the globe. She blogged all the way from the airport in South Florida, to Union Station in D.C. Read it in full, as well as see home photos and videos here.

I got an anonymous e-mail from someone who called WSFL today. “The Morning Showoff” is still on, and did you know they’re freaking blogging about it!? I’ve searched up and down the WSFL site and couldn’t find it until someone sent me a direct link. Here’s what i’ve found out about it, including a name change :

Julia’s Take
I’ve come across Julia Yarbough’s blog. The NBC6 anchor blogs fairly regally about.. well.. “normal” issues we all may come across. Her blog gives us a rare insight to what anchors are like off camera, and i like her. My sources have told me she’s a nice person, and her blog seems to confirm it. In one of her recent entries, she talks about being a “single news anchor.” In her 2009 resolution pledge, she posted this:
Read her blog here. I like her attitude.
