Sabrina Fein leaves Fox 35; WESH adds more Aixa Diaz

A couple of changes to report on the local news scene…

WOFL-Fox 35 meteorologist/traffic reporter Sabrina Fein — declared by some to be the “hottest” woman on Orlando TV — has left O-Town. Posting on her Facebook fan page on May 19, Fein wrote, “For all of you that are wondering and asking, I have decided to take a short break from the news business and refocus my career in Los Angeles. Thank you all for participating in this page and I am hopeful that you will still follow me and my career. Take care for now. – Sabrina xoxo.” Reading more comments on the page, it appears that WOFL wanted to move her off the weather beat. …

Meanwhile over at WESH, anchor Aixa Diaz is getting more air time. She’s been taken off the weekend shift and now co-anchors WESH 2 News on CW18 from 7-9 a.m. each Monday through Friday. The move is likely tied to WESH’s 4:30 a.m. news start-up. Syan Rhodes, who previously anchored the two morning shifts on WESH and WKCF with Jason Guy, is on the desk at 4:30 now and  does only the WESH Sunrise morning shows and noon news. …

And WESH’s time to brag that it had the only HD-equipped helicopter in Central Florida was short-lived. WFTV showed off HD pictures from “Skywitness HD” during its newscasts last week.
