Terry Morrow of the Scripps owned News-Sentinel got it wrong yesterday. He said that Jessa Goodard of WVLT “left of her own accord on Friday”. According to Brian’s Blog sources within the WVLT station staff that is not the case.

WVLT on Friday abruptly laid off Craig Edwards, WVLT weather guy; Kim Bedford, popular Reporter; Jessa Goodard, fill in Co-Anchor; Liz Tedone, former Co-Anchor, current temporary Special Assignments reporter and wife of Craig Edwards and Steve Coy, popular longtime WVLT photographer.

I love WVLT Volunteer TV as Brian’s Blog readers will recall. I still love WVLT but you have to wonder, what were they thinking?

So, now Stacey McCloud will co-anchor with Alan Williams. The joke line being that everyday will appear to be “bring your daughter to work day.”

I will continue watching WVLT, simply because the other alternatives (WBIR and WATE) in this town just ain’t worth it.
