O-Town anchor gets digital for Web site

Roger Simmons, October 22, 2007

Some quick hits to start the week …

As WESH prepares to go HD, one of its anchors has already been digitized. Wendy Chioji is the surprise tour guide for the Florida High Tech Corridor Web site. As you poke around the site, you can always call Wendy back to help you when you have a question. Maybe they should do the news that way? …

From an O-Town tipster — but not yet confirmed: Former WESH morning anchor Tom Schaad has landed a main anchor gig at WAVY-NBC 10 in Norfolk, Va. …

From another O-Town tipster — but also not yet confirmed: Central Florida News 13 has hired a new meteorologist who is scheduled to start work today. A number of internal candidates have been wondering about the position, according to the tipster. …

Finally, if you’ve been waiting patiently for your account to be activated on the Orlando TV News Talk forum, you should be now ready to go. Just log in. Also, as always, feel free to leave comments on the posts here on the Orlando TV News page. I’ve opened up the approval process, so your comments will now appear immediately after you post them.
