Ken Watts absent?

> I hear on the grapevine that Ken Watts is gone from WXIA-TV.

Considering that channel 11 hides their talent bios on their website I could not see if Ken's was pulled or not. I wonder if channel 2 made him an offer that he could not refuse. It would be interesting to have 2 former channel 5'ers anchoring the morning and midday news on channel 2. Ken was stuck on weekends at 5 until he skipped out about the time 5 went Fox.
 
Ken Watts isn't listed on the WXIA website, fwiw.

thanks for that link, I spent awhile searching the channel 11 website and could only find Jill's.

So 11 has two jobs to fill the morning/noon slot and a weekend evening slot.

Apparently he's been fired.. On http://www.ftvlive.com/ It has his photo with 'Bounced in the ATL!' over it. I don't have a membership there so I cannot tell you the whole story.. If anyone does have a membership please post the story..
