The Hartford Shuffle - Where's..........?

Anyone know where Rachel Lutzker, the traffic reporter at WFSB went? She's been gone from the morning show for at least two weeks now. I'd say she's on holiday break, but there's never any mention of her. Teresa LaBarbera has been doing traffic now, and I've never head her once say she's filling in for Rachel - which leads me to believe she's gone.

Anyone know where Keisha Grant, the morning anchor from NBC30 went? A few weeks ago, a new girl showed up, Yvonne Nava. I thought Keisha was history, but then Keisha re-appeared a few times. However, there's been no sign of Keisha for over a week now. Again, I'd guess that she was on a holiday vacation, but the new girl never says that she's filling in for Keisha, or that Keisha has the day off. I looked online, and Keisha's bio is still there. What's going on?

One thing that did occur to me was that maybe Keisha and/or Rachel had to quietly disappear from their roles at 30 and 3 in order to be part of the new FOX61 morning show debuting in a few months. It's just a guess, but anything is possible.

One more thing (not sure who else saw this), this weekend, former FOX61 Chief Meteorologist John Carroll was doing the weather at NBC30. He left FOX61 in June for unknown reasons, and has been off the air in Connecticut ever since. It would be ironic if he turns out to be the permanent new guy at NBC30. Why? Because he would be replacing Garett Argianas who left NBC30 weekends to become the Chief Meteorologist at FOX61 (John Carroll's old job). Talk about a reversal of roles.
 
Rachel Lutzker was doing well on Channel 3. Her and Scot always joked around mostly Scot would play jokes on Rachel. I guess Channel 3 has to make all new commeicals for wfsbcars.com. I thought Rachel wouldn't leave the Channel 3 morning show. Who else is FOX 61 going to grab?
 
Maybe Friendman would fill the 4th weather guy seat for NBC 30. As for FOX 61 who is going to be the morning show weather guy? I know their not going to grab Scot from Channel 3 no way would they let him go that easy. Wonder where they will get the weather guy or girl from. Its still surprising Rachel left but I guess her contract is for Clear Channel which wants to get their traffic info from FOX 61 now instead of WFSB.

What FOX 61 is doing reminds me of when NBC 30 got a lot of the Channel 3 people which one is still at NBC 30 Gary Brooks.

I'm not sure if he's a permanent replacement or not, but former FOX61 Chief Meteorologist John Carroll was doing the weekend weather at NBC30 a few weeks ago.
 
Why didn't FOX 61 make Friendman Chief Meteorologist after Justin Kefer left as he has been their since 1997. Then all FOX 61 would of had to do is look for a weekend weather man. Speaking of Justin where did he go?
