Bill Kelly Leaves 12 News

F

formeraa

It was announced on the 10pm newscast last night that Bill Kelly was leaving 12 News. Anybody have more information? Was his contract not renewed? Did they bring in Jerrid Sebesta to replace him? What's going on?
 
KPNX has had a complete change in their weather team since I moved here 8 years ago. While I watch Channel 12 the least out of the five local news channels, I thought Kelly did a serviceable job. Good luck to him in the future.
 
Actually, they've had a complete change in the past 3.5 years. When I moved here, Bill K was chief, Ron M was doing weekends (am and pm), and Amy B was doing mornings.
 
I received an email from Sologig on 06/18 regarding consulting, freelance, temp or contract positions in Arizona and there was a listing for Weather Anchor at KPNX.


Phoenix, AZ Weather Anchor - Television KPNX-TV (Phoenix, AZ)

I wonder if KPNX is going to promote Caribe, Sarah or Jerrid to Chief or hire a new person?

I wonder what's Sean McLaughlin's contract? Could he return to 12? He probably wouldn't want to since besides being the Chief Meteorologist he's also an news anchor.

Also, I gather than Sean is making a lot of money over at 5. Recently, it seems that 12 has been trying to save money by going the VJ route and not renewing older, more expensive reporters.
