Chris Caraggio to KPHO Mornings?!?

F

formeraa

I just read on tvspy.com that Chris C. is moving from sports to am news anchor starting on Monday. The article also mentioned that Mike Chamberlain is moving to KPHO sports (but did not mention sports director). Has anyone heard any more about this?
 
Watched some of KPHO this morning. I like Chambo but Coraggio is an improvement because he seems wide awake and energetic! :D

So now KPHO's new lineup is Crites, Coraggio, Horton doing weather and Piani doing traffic. I noticed that Julie Durda hasn't been on in a few weeks. They've only been doing 4:30 for a few years but it seems that this is the third different morning team.

Also, is KPHO the home of People Who Want to Do at Least Two Jobs? They have weatherguessers and sportcasters who also want to be anchors. ???
 
Julie Durda took a job in Florida.

As for moving around in the newsroom, 12 News tapped Sports Director Mark Curtis to be the main co-anchor after Kent Dana left. ABC 15's Jen Burgess does anchoring and weather. Channel 3 seems to love to hire reporters with little weather experience to be weathercasters.
 
Doing more with less. ;D It's how the corporate muckey-mucks ensure a good bonus at the end of the year.

A good bonus for their corporate selves, I'm sure you mean.

As in: Journal Tucson GM fires Brad of Booby & Brad on summer book
#1 (12+) Cloud 95, now set to enjoy her Christmas bonus...from the
Tucson board.

Mike Chamberlin is a good guy, but he never seemed at ease as a news anchor. He's better at sports.

As I understand, Gary Cruz now gets the prime sports position (SD remains to be seen) and Chambo will move into Gary's former schedule.
