WBZ's Jack Williams - Walking Off The News Desk

O

Omnibus

Guest
After 39 years Jack Williams is stepping away from the News Desk at WBZ TV 4.
Williams will still do feature reports and still do "Wednesday's Child".

He will be missed from the news desk.

Question: Where is Tony Pepper?

Remember "The Pepper - Williams Band Wagon"?
 
It's kind of a quick turnaround, only 10 days or so between announcement and final regular anchor appearance. Natalie Jacobson only had a week between sudden announcement and final appearance. With Natalie, it was Hearst declining to renew her huge contract. Could be the same type of thing with Jack. As I recall, Natalie never said she'd be back for big stories or occasional fill-in anchoring. Aside from 'Wednesday's Child", I'd be surprised if Jack is back at the anchor desk.
 
Jack has filled in for various talk show host on BZ Radio and he is very good. Maybe we will hear him fill in for Dan Rea. Gary LaPierre " retired" years ago and you hear his voice more now than before even if his damn commercial for putting his mother in a nursing home is a best questionable taste that he save her bank account.
