Mike Marza, as he will be known, is joining WSVN as anchor of 7news at 4, 4:30, 5:30 and 6:30 newscasts, replacing Charles Billi who left the station in February. Marza might look familiar to you if you watch ABC News except there he was known as Mike Marusarz, he has anchored and reported for Good Morning America, World News Now, World News and other ABC properties.
He started his career at Fox News in 2004, spent 2 years at WIBW in Topeka Kansas, from 2005 to 2010 he was at KSHB in Kansas City, Missouri working as multimedia journalist and weekend anchor before heading to News 12 Long Island where he freelanced for 6 months as anchor and reporter.
Mike Marza’s first day on WSVN 7News at 4 is July 11
Check out his demo “sizzle” reel (a sneaky shot of his big muscles in there too by the way) after the jump
This news sucks for Reid Lamberty who in my opinion should have been selected for this anchor position. WSVN promotions from within go a long way.
I agree with you 100%!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
I never understood how in today’s world someone needs to change their name.
He was told to change his name by Ed Ansin.
They wanted someone who could pass for Latin.
how is he going to look next to Lynn. He looks much younger..that is going to be awkward
He seems young, fun, and cool… But that doesn’t fit WSVN’s dramatic news format in my opinion.
WSVN has the youngest audience of any station in the market so they’re not uncool. This guys is young, hot and has some cred coming from a big network. Craig Stevens looked younger than him when he succeeded Rick Sanchez
Mike your going to be great! Congrats!~
Congrats!!!!If anyone has ever seen Mikes stuff he is amazing and will bring nothing but talent to the team!
You’ve come a long way! 🙂
I miss Reed Cowan. He should have gotten the spot. But congrats to the new guy.
I’m going to skip Wsvn-7 News at 4:00, 5:00 6:00 PM. I don’t like to see and hear a nasal and incopetent anchor as that replacement of Reid Lamberty. I was qtching the News at 4:00 Pm, just to watch Reid reporting, the perfect match with sweetheart Lynn
