A reader, several actually, noticed that several former news anchors are now doing television ads that air locally. Since about October 2010 former WPLG lead anchorman Dwight Lauderdale has been the spokesperson for Avmed Medicare. SFLTV readers are now reporting they have seen former WTVJ lead anchor Tony Segreto and former WPLG anchor/reporter Dianne Magnum doing tv commercials too.
There is/was another tv commercial starring Dwight Lauderdale for Mount Sainai Medical Center Foundation raising money for the hospital via text messages. Lauderdale also has his own consulting company aptly called ‘Dwight Lauderdale Productions’. And if you’ve driven around South Florida you might have seen those white and yellow billboards for AvMed featuring Dwight Lauderdale smiling back at you.

I saw Lisa Hayward on an infomercial in Holland. The infomercial was in English and for shape-up type sneakers, before toning sneakers became mainstream. She wore a tight little body suit during the whole thing. It was definitely her. I wish I took a picture of the TV screen. I’ll keep an eye for it again the next time I’m in Amsterdam.
I always thought he came across as a phony, now after telling people about the Medicare Advantage program he trusts for himself ( he’s not 65, prob about 60) he has proven what a real phony he really is.
