Former WESH anchor coming back?

Roger Simmons, May 11, 2007

A South Florida tipster says that former WESH anchor Shannon Hori may be headed back to the Sunshine State. According to the tip, Hori is on the list of possible replacements for anchor Maggie Rodriguez at CBS O&O WFOR in Miami. Rodriguez is leaving to anchor the Saturday Early Show on the network. Hori left WESH in 2004 for her current home, CBS O&O KTVT in Dallas. …

The voting begins today for the finalists for WKMG traffic reporter job. But, if you’ve been listening closely to the rules on Local 6, your voting means practically nothing. Station management will make the decision on who to hire … but they will "consider" the voting when making the decision. So, if you still want to vote, go for it. ….

Internet Broadcasting Systems, which runs the Web sites for WKMG, WFTV and WESH in Orlando and more than 70 other stations nationwide, is moving its headquarters to St. Paul, Minn. Here’s the full story.
