KTLA traffic

Does anyone know what happened to Desrey Horton in chopper 5? Did she quit, or is sick? They should put Bill Smith in that job because he's a pilot. Wila is nice but looks out of place.

That would be the shortest tenure of anyone who's ever had SkyCam duty for KTLA. Desiree flew for KABC for a while before joining KTLA.

Anyone know what happened to Beth Sweeney, who was one of the candidates to replace Jennifer York?

Beth was in Skycam 1 day & disappeared. If I ran KTLA I'd offer Jenifer lots of $s to come back.

She's too busy doing mornings at KFSH now.

Besides she left KTLA because they wouldn't give her more to do on news or features. She loved the station, but the news director wasn't impressed ... as I recall the story.<P ID="signature">______________

It's a Salem Communications Christian AC station licensed as KFSH-FM Anaheim/Los Angeles. It's 95.9FM and the studios are in Glendale (near Los Angeles).

And, before that, it was Mix95.9, owned by CC which sold it.
Before that, it was KEZY, which ran an AC format.

Desiree was with Bill Smith in KTLA'S copter today. Does anyone know why?
 
Yes. Desiree is the one PILOTING Skycam. The traffic has been in the hands of Willa Sandmeyer, and Bill Smith is filling in for her.

I thought at first it was killing two birds with one stone when they hired her---someone who can not only do traffic, but FLY the chopper as well...seemed pretty cost efficient. Guess they felt that Desiree wasn't "lively" enough as a reporter, and was a bit of pressure for her to do both, or they just needed to give Willa Sandmeyer something to do...who's to say? But, far as I remember, she's been piloting Skycam.
