Kevin Hunt Gone From 12 News?

Haven't seen him lately, I've seen Jake Knapp numerous times this past week. Also his bio has been removed from AZCENTRAL.COM. Anyone know about this? Feel free to comment! Just my odd observation, help me verify! FYI: I am no where near certain about this so please don't send me irrelevant messages.
 
Wow! Maybe Coop will finally get a shot at the big chair!

Speaking of 12 News' disappearing personalities, whatever happened to Mary Yuan, who was the 4th/fill-in weather person? I don't think that they ever put her bio on the website, but she definitely was on 12 News for a number of months last year.
 
Just got a confirmation tweet from Lin Sue Cooney "Thanks for asking about Kev. He's not with our team full-time but is freelancing on azcentralsports on-air/online. " Bummer, he's was a funny guy!

So now you have to pay for Kevin Hunt (AZCentral digital subscription).
 
azcentral/12NEWS is ridiculous, why subscribe and pay for news I can get on AZFAMILY, ABC15, MYFOXPHOENIX, AND KPHO for free?
And @formeraa I think she was just freelancing? Not too sure, because I haven't seen her lately. Rob sure is working it on the weekends. But he has nothing on 3TV/ Kim Quintero, she has just absolutely crazy shift/ schedule.
 
@thatonedudegrant -- Rob also was working pretty hard before he went on vacation. He was working seven days a week. Kim also has been doing the same thing (Royal's vacation and then April was sick). I'm convinced that Kim is the ENERGIZER bunny in disguise! :D She can work 9 days in a row, not mention how long she's worked, and still be poised, clear, and professional. I was surprised that they didn't bring back Josh DeBerge for a day -- so Kim could get a day of rest or at least an evening of rest.
 
HAHAH :D her batteries are probably gonna give out soon, she's definitely a hard worker though! Kim is outstandingly professional through days and days of work. Although I catch saying "ditto" often, very often. Lets all be honest shes no Brittney Shipp on Weekend GMAZ. Either Brittney was amazingly good or Kim just doesn't have it. She's good at forecasting the weather but she doesn't have that funny kind of entertaining factor Brittney did. Just me or...?

Interesting. I was going to give Kim a break, let her learn more about the Valley and find her groove. She does seem a lot more serious than Brittney was/is.

I wanna find out who the new Sports Director will be. Bruce Cooper? Jake Knapp(Doubt it)? Dan Bickley?
Kevin Hunt was... Fired? Quit? Hmm we can only wonder
 
I'm really impressed with Kim. She is bringing her personality to the job and not trying to emulate previous weather personalities. On top of her hectic work schedule, she gets out and runs 6-7 miles 3-4 times a week. Ahhhhh to be young like that! ;D

@grant -- I have to agree on Kim -- great forecaster -- but not yet as good as Brittney on the soft event/fluffy interview stuff.
