Jose Lambiet at Page2Live is reporting that WPTV anchorman Jamie Holmes gave his 2-week notice after he was passed for a promotion when Chandra Bill announced she’s taking on a lighter workload before leaving the station for good.
Holmes, who was considered the most likely replacement for Jim Sackett, was passed up and WPTV instead promoted Jay Cashmere to replace Chandra Bill.
Insiders told Lambiet that Holmes skipped work Monday and Tuesday and called in sick today with his last day at WPTV being tomorrow.
Jamie Holmes joined WPTV in 1998. Jay Cashmere joined WPTV in 2002.
this really sucks cause he was the only other aside from Jim Sackett that i really care for. I HATE HATE HATE HATE HATE HATE HATE HATE HATE HATE HATE HATE HATE HATE HATE HATE HATE HATE HATE HATE HATE HATE HATE HATE HATE HATE HATE HATE HATE HATE HATE HATE HATE HATE Jay Cashmere with a HUGE passion!!!!!!! I canNOOOOOOOOT stand him. WPTV burn in hell if you have Jay replace Sackett everrrr.
On other note, stupid Jamie, doesent he realize the economy sucks…not exactly a good time to drop a job to make a point.
Why do you hate Jay?
Jamie’s a nice guy. Very funny guy.
OK, that was an idiot move…
I agree. The economy isn’t real conducive to finding new work. I understand being ‘principled’ and all, but sometimes you’ve got to temper that temporarily.
has he not learned from what happened to Rob Lopicola? he left the very same station and is now washed up
Forget that. Seems he already has a job. Outside of news. Good for him.
Actually funny you should mention this. WPTV is RIGHT NOW exposing him has scam artist for some time share company he is in charge of in a Contact 5 Investigation. He looks like crap, fat, overweight, and weird.
Yes… Washed up lol Jamie has a new job at a respectable company
I was talking about rob
I know…
