WSVN and Q McCray Part Ways, Move Roy Ramos Behind the Scenes

Published by admin on 2/19/2009 in Local Media and departures.

As of Tuesday Q McCray is no longer with WSVN. Tipster tells us management told him he was being let go at the end of last year. McCray was supposed to be Joel Brown’s replacement when he left WSVN for CBS Newspath but that never happened.

Andre Hepkins according to the tipster is now officially Brown’s replacement.

Roy Ramos who reported for WSVN was a freelancer. WSVN took him off air but he’s still with 7 behind the scenes.

Q McCray will be reporting for WFTV in Orlando starting sometime in March.
