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.

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.

  2. 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.
