Shakeup at WKBN & WYTV begins
March 9, 2007
According to OMW, it appears that two of WKBN’s main news anchors have put in their resignations. “27 First News” anchors Robb Schmidt & Sarah Eisler will be leaving WKBN & WYFX. Sarah’s last day is March 30th while Robb will be leaving on April 6th. The resignations are due to ownership changes at WKBN / WYFX, now owned by “New Vision Television.” They will be consolidating resources with WYTV, which will be owned by “Parkin Broadcasting.” It looks like these changes are just the beginning. Stay tuned. (Tom Lavery, SVRTV)
