Wilson next to go from WKMG mornings

Roger Simmons, April 5, 2007

The extreme makeover of Local 6’s First News morning show continues. A insider says employees were told that that traffic reporter Secily Wilson will be leaving the newscast on April 14.

Technically, Wilson works for Traffic.Com but has been part of the WKMG morning show for several years. In January 2005, she suffered a stroke while on the air. After further examination, doctors determined she actually had several minor strokes. She worked with a speech pathologist and returned to work.

For those keeping count, for a much-touted morning show that once had Mark McEwen, Jacquie Sosa, Wilson and meteorologist Larry Mowry, only Mowery will remain after April 14. Sure appears a clean sweep is in the forecast, though.
