Demarco Morgan is making his rounds on the TV airways and TMZ.com. Last Sunday on the WNBC 6PM news, Morgan had a flub where he said out loud what he should of read silently. “Ad-lib to John,” he said just before realizing what he had done. Watch the full video here.

So now that the sale is off, and things are looking up for WTVJ, (kind of…) apparently, Mr. DeMarco Morgan himself wants back in. Here’s the scoop. He algedly made a phone call late Tuesday night to the NBC 6 executive producer, and get this… allegedly wants back at WTVJ to host the 6, 7, and 11 PM news. Ha! Now, the contract details allow for trading of on air talent between NBC O&O stations, but i would be shocked if they let him. He bails out when the times are tuff, and then when everything is all better again, he wants back in? I don’t think so. DeMarco, as of now, is scheduled to started at WNBC a few weeks back.
The new anchor changes take effect this week. DeMarco Morgan’s last day is Wednesday.
Starting Thursday:
Joel Conanble anchors the 7pm with Jackie
Julia Yarbough anchors the 11pm with Jackie
Sharon Lawson anchors weekend mornings solo
Amara Sohn anchors the weekend nights solo
There has been a lot of “alleged” talk in the NBC6 newsroom about his attitude lately. Apparently New York has gone to his head. He apparently even yelled at a producer last week or not delivering his script to the desk for him. From what I’ve heard, this is extremely out of character for him. It’s either New York going to his head, or the stress of this move. Who knows. None the less, we wish him luck. Good luck DeMarco!
WTVJ anchor DeMarco Morgan was just hired at WNBC. What a small fish for such a big pool. Come December, DeMarco will work weekends anchoring the 6 & 11 P.M. news. A few weeks ago we reported that DeMarco Morgan and Tom Llamas were up in NY interviewing at WNBC. No word on if he was (or will be) hired as well. DeMarco denied that he was hired, even to fellow co-workers up to just a few days ago. This may be a smart move for both stations. With DeMarco gone, that leaves a spot open for the unused star at WTVJ – Joel Connable. According to rumors, Joel is supposed to be in a full time anchor spot by the end of this year. Now that would be a nice thing to see. Some real talent in the anchor seat. So now, it’s just a wait and see situation.
Update: According to management insiders at WTVJ, Joel Connable will be the new 7P.M. anchor, and possibly the new 6P.M. anchor.
That seems to be the trend at WTVJ. With the uncertainty of the economy, and the fate of WTVJ, lots of employees and even on air talent are looking to get out of NBC6. The list (that seems to add new names weekly) is as follows:
- Liz Roldan, Managing Editor – Gone
Carrie Hernandez – Executive Producer – Leaving after Election Day for CNN
Mike Zimmer- Chief Photographer – Gone - Tom Llamas - Reporter – Although he denies it, we still have sources saying he’s joining Demarco at WNBC
- Demarco Morgan – Anchor – Hired at WNBC
- Chris Pena – Executive Producer – Left a few months ago
Is this a smart move? It’s still hard to say. Lets not forget, the sale still may not go through…
