Fox 35 hires weekend sports anchor

Roger Simmons, April 11, 2007

WOFL has hired a weekend sports anchor — finally. Kevin Holden, now anchoring sports in Texas for the News 8 Austin cable channel, is joining the Fox 35 staff, according to NewsBlues.com.

Holden’s career started at a small independent station in Georgia, and he previously worked in Tupelo, Miss., Houston and Greenville, S.C. Click here to read Holden’s bio.

I think it’s been been more than a year since WOFL had two sports anchors. It was around March 2006 when then-weekend sports anchor Eric Clinkscales — a veteran of WOFL’s news start-up — left the the desk. Since then, Thomas Forester has been handling all the sports duties for Fox 35.
