The timetable and order is set. Monica Pearson will retire from WSB-TV in 2012 after 37 years as lead anchor. John Pruitt will retire sometime in between with pretty close to 50 years of service to Atlanta television viewers.

Oh no! I don't really care for Justin Farmer and Jovita Moore. Fred Blankenship would be a great lead for 6pm & 11pm.

If they name anyone other than the beautiful and talented Linda Stouffer as anchor they are crazy.

That's an April Fool's Joke, right?

Yeah, AJC is late. She was on the Ryan Cameron Show on V-103 (WVEE) about 3 weeks ago and announced that she was leaving WSB-TV on July 31, 2012.

I think John Bauchman would be the best to fill either Monica's or John Pruitt's shoes. He does a great job. Linda Stouffer who is often paired with him also is a great anchor.
