Columbus Sports Reporters Having a Bad Week

It’s been a bad week for TV sports reporters in Columbus.



Last week it was announced that NBC 4’s Omar Ruiz had left the sports crew and returned to his native California.



The move seemed way too sudden to be amiable, as Ruiz’s presence was quickly removed from the station’s website (even the “Deep Thoughts” blog, for goodness sake.)

Julie Tam Leaving Fox 41

TIME TO SAY GOODBYE… I’m 
leaving WDRB-TV FOX 41 in early 2010, after more than 4 years as a news
reporter and anchor here. Early on, I fell in love with Louisville and
the surrounding towns throughout Ke…ntucky and Southern Indiana, where
I’ve traveled to cover news and on my own time for pleasure. It’s a
beautiful and convenient place to live. I love our house and our
exquisite neighborhood. Now it’s time to move on.

We just received late breaking word that Eric Green is leaving WLWT-TV 5 and heading west.

Green becomes the new morning meteorologist for KOAT-TV 7 in Albuquerque, New Mexico. A source which asked not to be identified tells us his last day will be January 13th (as in, Wednesday). We're not sure when Green will be allowed to work for KOAT.

Ah, but KOAT is a Hearst station...just like WLWT. So there may not be a non-compete involved here, with Green moving within the Hearst group.

Evansville Anchor and Producer Heads to Louisville

There isn't much news to bring you this week because not much happens in local TV over the holidays, but I do have a couple of items to pass along, so let's get right to it.

First up this week, our loss is Louisville's gain as WEHT-News25 bids farewell to two team members: Daybreak anchor Jon Chrisos and newscast producer Ryan Nash are leaving the station for new positions at WAVE-3, the Raycom Media-owned NBC affiliate in Louisville, Ky.

Graphics Woes for WCPO

So who were those people sports anchor Dennis Janson said goodbye to at the end of Friday’s sportscast? They were three veterans of Channel 9’s art department – Jim Steeves (18 years), Mel MacArthur (15 years) and John LaRoche (13 years) — who worked their last day on Friday. They lost their jobs as part of a companywide consolidation of the 10 Scripps TV station art department duties shifted to the Tampa station.

I’m told that the Ch 9 graphics are now being built by news producers in the newsroom using a template system. This started Oct. 23. All 10 Scripps stations will soon have the same graphics package. I’m told the new “desert brown” graphics originated at the Scripps station in Phoenix. Or is it a “rust” color for Scripps’ stations in Detroit, Cleveland or Cincinnati? Says one Ch 9 insider: “We went from the best (graphics on TV in town) to the worst pretty much overnight.”

Jennifer Palumbo Returns to WDKY

A familiar face returns this week to the Fox-56 10 o'clock News.

Jennifer Palumbo will once again co-anchor the news with Marvin Bartlett, returning to the position she held from 1997 to 2002.

Since 2007, Palumbo has been on the Fox-56 Morning Edition at 7 a.m. She was lured back by WDKY for the show after leaving television in 2005 to spend more time with her family.
