Report: WFTV’s Bob Jordan still considering Seattle job

Roger Simmons, July 5, 2012

Apparently, Bob Jordan’s move to Seattle isn’t a done deal.

Today, NewsBlues.com offered this update on the WFTV news director’s career plans:
“Jordan, who turns 66 today, is considering the offer. Last week, he visited KIRO-7-CBS and even conducted a morning editorial meeting. Seattle is familiar territory. His daughter and grandkids live there, and he visits regularly. He was news director at Belo’s KING-5-NBC nearly 20 years ago. This week, Jordan and his wife are vacationing in Minnesota and have stayed below the radar while they try to figure out what to do next.”

Mike James, the NewsBlues.com founder and editor, was once WFTV’s sports director under Jordan, and likely has the inside scoop about his former boss.

As they say in TV, stay tuned…
