Assistant ND leaving WOFL

Roger Simmons, February 24, 2006

As WOFL prepares to launch its new 5 p.m. newscast in a little more than a week, it will be doing so without Assistant News Director Chris Ford. After three years, he’s leaving WOFL to become assistant news director at Tribune Co.’s CLTV cable operation in Chicago.

The Fox 35 news at 5 p.m. is set for a March 6 debut, with Amy Kaufeldt and Glenn Richards.
