Where are they now?

[mninmesa]

So there may be a post already on this topic, but I wanted to post this anyways...

I can only speak to ex-Phoenix TV personnel here in Seattle (where I now live) but there are a few:

KOMO 4 has Sabra Gertsch
KING 5 has Rob Piercy and Kim Holcomb
KCPQ 13 has Kirsten Joyce and now Brian Blakely

Know of any other ex-Phoenix TV personnel in other markets?

@MusicFan KCPQ is in Seattle, not Portland.

Today, there was a huge cover feature in the Arizona Living section of the Republic..."The Jineane we know." Apparently Jineane Ford (Ross) now commutes between a home in Mesa and the Ross family home in Pinetop. It says in the article that much of her 20-year career was at 12, but she spent a few years each at 3 and at an unidentified Tampa station.

She resigned in 2007 so that she could move to Pinetop with her husband.

Hi Raymie;

Thanks for correcting my error. I also realized after I posted this last night that repeated info regarding Kirsten Joyce and the original poster.

Charlie.

I was in Seattle over the weekend and caught the end of Q13 News at 9 (which is broadcast on some other channel) with Kirsten Joyce. She seems so much more relaxed in Seattle than she was here in Phoenix. Perhaps a two anchor format helps -- it's hard to joke around with an empty seat!!
