Yes!

KTVK - Bruce Haffner

He's been in the chopper lately. Did Ft McDowell Casino pull the plug?

KPNX - Joe Pequeno

Joey P is gone from the 12 News website -- perhaps they needed the money for "Weird Building Name" LIVE!

I thought EVB meant "East Van Buren" - the location and not the building name (although I guess they could be the same).

The "Weird Building Name" moniker was courtesy of our fellow poster Raymie.

Monday August 29, 2011 09:13am Bruce reporting from the FMCN about a sink hole.

So was TVJobs wrong? (I did notice that there is no bio for Bruce on the AZFamily.com website)

Bruce doesn't work for Channel 3 anymore. He is a contractor for the tv station.

Mystery solved! Thanks, fenix, for your insider info.

More changes reported from tvjobs.com:

1. Lisa Leigh Kelly moving from KPHO to Anchor at KEYE in Austin.

2. Stephanie Hockridge is joining KNXV in Phoenix as a weekend anchor and multimedia journalist. She was previously an anchor at WDAF in Kansas City.

I wonder if KNXV will use a two-anchor format on the weekends or if Christopher Sign will return to full-time reporting.

Heard CBS-5 sports reporter Scott Smith introducing a segment with Joe Pequeno. Don't know if this is a permanent role or just freelancing.
