As previously told by several insiders Wendy Corona was leaving WPLG for a job in Houston, at the other Post-Newsweek owned station KPRC. And that Kristy Krueger was going to be moved to weekday mornings in Corona’s place.
Now the Miami Herald is confirming that Kristy Krueger is indeed moving to weekday mornings after Wendy Corona leaves WPLG.
Laurie Jennings will be anchoring all of the early evening newscasts along with Dwight Lauderdale at 5p, 6p and 11p. And with Matt Lorch at 5:30p.
Wendy Corona deserves to be primetime. Best newsanchor in south florida. She will boost the ratings at news station in houston. She will be missed!!!!!!!
Sorry, Jenny, but I must disagree. Wendy’s a lightweight completely overshadowed by Mark Schumacher. But I’ll take her over the horrible Matt Lorch any day.
shame on you!!! mark is good but Wendy is the best of all local channels. she handles her self well. You will see when she is gone that mark and who ever takes her place cant stand up to her. she will be missed
laurie jennings is the BEST in miami.
i hope l. jennings babies boys are doing ok but wendys the best. The worst is Loudermilk or whatever his name is at night.

not sure who loudermilk is.
Lol.. that got a few laughs outta me! Loudermilk ROFL… Lauderdale…
Jenny’s probably talking about Dwight Lauderdale. He’s a caricature of himself.
Laurie Jennings and Maggie Rodriguez are tops in this market, Wendy Corona is an amateur by comparison. Kristi Kruger is good, but she wears her heart on her sleeve too much. She’ll probably do much better in the morning.
I agree about Lauderdale – but I like Martha Sugalski of all the anchors – and I dont understand why NBC6 hasn’t let her anchor more than just the wb – I personally think Coarona is great, but she is a great reporter and those are hard to come by these days.
Joe… I agree with you completely.
I never warmed to Wendy Corona – won’t miss her a bit. It looked like they were groomng Yvonne Nava (?) for that spot, so I’m quite pleased it’s going to be Kristi – She’ll do great on the am show.
BTW – is it just me, or does Nava’s hair always look like a wet dishrag?
I think the best co-anchor is Lynn Mateinza(??) From WSVN. She has a comedy side and a serious side.
Lynn’s very good — would have been a far better choice than Belkys.
The best anchor in the Miami/South Florida market is none other than…Joel Connable. This man really knows how to deliver the news. Smart move on NBC6’s part in making him an anchor. Hopefully soon they will realize he belongs in the Main Anchor position.
As for WPLG…What is going to happen with Matt Lorch when they cancel the 5:30 pm newscast? No news has ever been reported on his “next” move with Local 10. Hopefully he will replace Dwight Lauderdale.
i didnt mean laudermilk, Dwight lauderdale is terrible!!!!! He is too dramatic. very bad!!!!! Wendy Corona is the best and will be highly missed. The yvonne chick does not need to be on desk, ok as reporter but not anchor. It will be hard to replace Corona if not impossible. I guess you just have to sit thru who ever local10 replaces her with. No one could stand up to the personality of Wendy. Professional, witty, polite, friendly and pretty. Good luck to Wendy and her family!!!!!!
I think the best female anchors in the market are Laurie, Maggie, and Martha. There really aren’t any great male anchors. Michael Williams is bland. Rob Hanrahan is kinda just there. Craig Stephens is like watching paint dry. I’d like to see Brian Andrews anchor more. 4 should realy make him an anchor. Matt Lorch is good. He’s definately the next generation at PLG. Hopefully they can find a good spot for him.
u guys are a tough bunch…damn
Stack, I saw Brian Andrews anchor on 33 the other day. He was a babbling idiot who was constantly apologizing for stupidities he said/did on the air. And Joel Connable needs to OPEN HIS EYES, for pete’s sake!
All I have to say is Joel Connable is a true professional, a truly pleasant person and NBC 6 is extremely lucky to have him. And they do appreciate him, which is much to their credit. I really hope he is there for years to come. He’s a wonderful guy and a pleasure to work with and watch…
I agree that Laurie Jennings, Maggie Rodriguez and Martha Sugalski are the best in the Miami market. Biggest “what are they thinking” goes to WTVJ for continuing to increase Yah-kee Nespral’s profile. What a clown, horrible delivery, she should be anchoring the local news in Cedar Rapids, not Miami. And Michael Williams is an improvement from Tony Segreto, but he still puts me to sleep.
First of all, if Wendy Corona was so great then how come WPLG’s morning show ratings have been in 3rd place over the last few years. And Jenny Chapman must be her agent….. and getting paid by the email!
dont laugh, but the best anchor in south florida is BOB MAYER (NBC6)…he is funny competent and can go from an interview with a chef to hard news with ease. He is a true pro.
Did you see Connable fill-in on the 10am show? like a deer in headlights. what do you see in him
I like Bob Mayer too, but I abhor Lonnie. And Joel needs to open his eyes!
I actually think they went wrong pairing Mark and Kristi, I honestly believe they should have went with a younger set of male and female anchors. Keep it tight, light and youthful. Will Manso is a great weekend anchor-he would have been a great choice, Mark does nothing for me. And Nikki Mohan would have paired perfectly with him in the mornings. Come on, look at the anchor desks of seven and four-six doesn’t count. This woud have been a good time for 10 to reflect the look of the Miami/Ft.Laud market. And you are right Ralph, I get sleepy just looking at Connable.
Jackie Nespral seems like a female Ron Burgundy.
I met Brian Andrews once – im sure 4 would love to make him anchor-but he hates anchoring. He used to do weekends on 7 but hated it so he went back to full time reporting. Wll Manso is a sports guy-a great one too-but does not deserve to be anchor, neither does Segreto – but I like him, Manso I dont like. I do agree with 6s swap, Williams deserved to be full time anchor and Connable is great for the weekends, but I agree about Nespral – she should be replaced by Sugalski or atleast take Nespral off the 11 news and keep her at 6 w/Tony. All Martha, all the time would be fine with me as well.
Too Bobby, If I was Wendy Corona.s agent, I would not have her come to this screwed up state. She must be real smart and getting the hell out of it. Good for you Corona!!!!!
I must say all the Dwight bashing has caught me off-guard. He and Bob Mayer are really the only “institutions” Miami has. So many markets have institutions (like Chuck and Sue at WNBC)… people the public know. But Miami doesn’t really have any. Dwight and Bob Mayer are really the only long-standing anchors in South Florida.
And yes, Dwight is dramatic, but c’mon… so is the whole SVN news team!
Wendy will be missed. She’s such a nice lady… I remember her back on TVJ before she made the switch to PLG. It’ll be good to see her at KPRC working with former Miami anchor Khambrel Marshall. Now THERE’S someone that got screwed over by FOR. He’s a great anchor and it shows at KPRC.
I hate to see wendy leave. I though she was good and lovely.
The top lady of the newcast is Maggie Rodriguez.
The ones I like are Natalie Solois on WSVN.
I alos like Martha,Julia and Nicki.
sure SVN is overdramatic, but Dwight started doing it years after he became an anchor. Dwight and Kristi are a couple of bobbleheads; they gesture for NO reason. its distracting.
I’d add Segreto to the list of institutions. I can remember Tony, Bob Mayer and Bob Weaver at 6pm with Renick. Even Jim Brosmer joined the fun from time to time.
I like both Manso and Lorch at 10 for young guys, but I still see Manso as sports guy.
I thought they were going to put Jen Herrera as the new morning anchor.she does traffic but is not only young and fresh she is also really pretty and nice i like her way better than kristi .we need young people in the morning news it wakes people up.my vote was for Jen Herrera.
I have to agree with David as I do not understand why Martha Sugalski is not anchoring more than just the WB. Jackie Nespral looks like she is pretending to be genuine while Martha delivers the stories without effort in a very professional demeanor.
I didnt like wendy at first. i did warm up to her though. i can’t stand Laurie Jennings. Very affected! Kristi is much better! I don’t like Trent Aric! He says things like, the GOLF OF MEXICO, and HOLLANDALE..you catch my drift. Oh and Wendy’s first week on the job she said Hadians instead of Haitians!
Wendy was and is the best Miami has ever seen.
Plus very easy on the eyes.
Gonna try somehow to receive Houston news just because
of her. Miami newscasters should learn from her and not
report everything as if the sky were falling!!
I think Kristi Kruger is the best Channel 10 has ever had. But, I do not know what they would all do without her! I got the chance to meet her last Saturday night at the play “Hello Dolly”.
