WGME Changes

There have been a lot of changes at WGME.

Vivian Bean left WGME a while back, she was replaced by Kate Barker (2nd pic)

John Hopperstad (4th Pic) was promoted to the newly launched 7PM newscast, while keeping the noon, he was anchoring the morning & noon before that. He & Gregg are the only male co-anchor team in NE.

Jeff Peterson added the morning newscast while still anchoring the 5PM Hour. (3rd pic)

Diana Ichton became the 10PM anchor on FOX 23 replacing Kiley. (1st pic)

Kiley Bennett moved off the 10PM news and was replaced by

Gregg Lagerquist added the new 7PM newscast to his schedule with John Hopperstad, being the only male co-anchoring team in NE, he kept the 6 & 11 newcasts as well. (6th pic)





Kim Block & Doug Ray kept their current assignments.

WLNE Changes

Well its not too surprising that 6 has made some changes.

Tom Langford has been demoted as the morning & noon co-anchor, moved to reporting for the shift.

Steve Cascione has taken the co-anchoring seat next to Doreen.

Malini Basu has moved to reporting in other shifts.




The station has also yet to fill the open Saturday night slot, freelance reporter and former 4PM fill-in Kimberly Bookman has been doing it thought I haven't seen it since they haven't ran the 6PM lately and I'm not up at 11:30 to see it.

I had also heard that Samantha Knapp had been co-anchoring the Sunday night with Paul Mueller, though I don't have any proof and its the same situation on Sundays (except the news at 6:30).

Jim Corbin has been doing the Morning weather since Steve got promoted, don't know if its permanent. It looks though I have no proof Matt Lagor will be doing both shifts on weekends.

Well see how it is soon. Once the dust settles.

WSHM Sports & Weather Changes

As the result of Sports Director Scott Harris leaving WSHM, they have made changes in the sports department.


Jonathan Selig becomes Sports Director from weekend sports.

Amy Lynn Stanley becomes Weekend Sports anchor, from sports reporter.




Weather Department as well made a change.

Paul Jamis has become weekend evening meteorologist at WSHM. Though I can't find much information about him or the shift.

Nick Morganelli who had became weekends not long ago is becoming a fill-in at WSHM, he will also continue to freelance at NECN.
