Sunbeam TV, owners of WHDH and WSVN, allegedly has just hired Matt Lorch away from WPLG to take the 5:30pm anchor slot at WHDH for double his WPLG salary! The 5:30pm weekdays is currently occupied by Chris May who was not renewed and will be leaving at the end of his contract.
No one so far seems to confirm the deal is 100% for sure, but people have heard and seen of Lorch interviewing at WHDH.
I’m so shocked that HDH isn’t promoting drop-dead gorgeous Jeff Glor. Honest to God, his voice, face, and ability are all cast in gold.
Wow! Miami is loosing Lorch! That’s a pity. I have been hoping that Lorch would eventually replace Dwight as the WPLG main anchor.
I will surely miss Lorch! He has been a delight to watch and wish him only the best in Boston.
I may be a “Joel Connable” fam, however Matt is a close second for me.
All the best to Matt! We will miss you.
Matt’s a gem. A hardworking reporter, a caring guy, a friend to the interns, a great sense of humor. I worked closely with him. He’s one of those people you love because he’s always in good spirits. Good luck to you, Matt.
it might be too late but there’s some discussion about Lorch at this site http://www.medialine.com/medialineUBB/ultimatebb.cgi?ubb=get_topic;f=1;t=050015#000012 and there’s a clip from his early days on youtube.com
