New anchor and future news anchor

Roger Simmons, March 22, 2007

Central Florida News 13 is getting a new morning anchor starting Monday. Lisa Bell will be the 5 to 10 a.m. anchor with meteorologist Jeff Day, Orlando Sentinel TV Guy Hal Boedeker reports. Bell comes to CFN13 from WEAR-ABC 3 in Pensacola. "Her talent and level of commitment make her the perfect person for this role at News 13," station GM Robin Smythe said of Bell.

Meanwhile, Katie Trexler is someone you may see on one of Orlando’s stations soon. She’s the morning and midday anchor at Denver’s KMGH-ABC 7, but she’s relocating to Orlando, according to the Rocky Mountain News. Trexler’s husband recently received a sweet gig from an O-Town company, so the family is heading East. Trexler, the mother of twin 4-year-olds, says she plans to take some time off before deciding whether to get back into TV here.

WFTV analog signoff was the cat’s meow

July 9, 2009

I’m still catching up on all the stuff I missed while I was occupied elsewhere. So, what about that analog switch off? Again, I missed it, but there was a nice touch with WFTV-Channel 9’s signoff. Included with the current WFTV logo was a version of the station’s first logo…
