I missed this in all the spam but Sharon Melton is leaving WSVN heading back to Texas. Her last day at WSVN is this Sunday April 22nd
She’s originally from San Antonio, TX
Hat tip John
Update: Brandon in comments: Sharron is moving to KTRK the Houston ABC affiliate.
Miami Herald says she’ll anchor the weekday morning newscasts from 5-7am.
Nice promotion!

WSVN is losing some great People! First Adam now Sharon?
Damn, I love Sharon. She had great chemistry with Charles Perez and subsequently with Charles Billi. I will miss her.
What is she going to Texas to do? I think her Tiffany Tucker is front runner to the weekend seat.
Robbin Simmons is coming back to take the chair.
Hey, I’ve got a question. Has Dianne Fernandez ever anchored a newscast at Ch. 7? She’d be good.
By the way, it’s “Sharron Melton” and she only seems good because she’s been sitting next to lightweights like Billi. Dianne Fernandez or my morning favorite Christine Cruz would be an upgrade, and here’s a longshot–Nicole Linsalata. Why not?
How is it about Robin?
WOW….. Yeah they come and they go! I have no idea what Dianne Fernandez is doing??? She’s hardly ever on as much as she used to be. I think she’d be a great upgrade.
Now whats this about Robbin Simmons coming back “Get with it”???
who is Robbin Simmons? I dont think Christine Cruz well Take a Weekend anchoring job. She is the main replacement for when a main anchor is on leave
she’s nice on air but in person….yikes….drama queen.
I am on a first name basis with Sharron Melton. I recently e-mailed her, and yesterday, she sent me an e-mail telling me that she is leaving Miami, as you all know. She told me that she is going to KTRK in Texas. She also congratulated me on all of my outstanding acheivements. 😀 She is such a nice person, and I truly am going to miss her!
Robbin Simmons? I haven’t seen her in a while! Oh yeah, it’s because she no longer works there lol. I don’t think she is coming back. That’s just me, but then again, what do I know? :/
Why can’t Tiffani Tucker do weekends with Billi? Doesn’t she fill-in for Diana? Christine? Sharron? All the time?
Way to go Sharron! Everyone deserves to go home! Robbin Simmons is a nice replacement, even though I think Tiffany deserves a shot too.
I watched her farewell last night. She held up, but I was a little chokey. She was hoarse, but she said she could not have said good-bye so she read regardless.
Good Luck Sharron, but WSVN has a new weather lady, VIVIAN GONZALES!
Did anyone catch her walking on Lexus Sports XTRA saying bye??? That was really sweet of her…
who is vivian gonzales?
Ms. Gonzalez wore almost the same outfit Elita had on.
Vivian Gonzalez subs whenever Brent Cameron or Phil Ferro aren’t around so Jonathan Novak can do the late news otherwise he’d have to wake up at 5am and stay at work till 11pm. Not cool.
She’s the, rather one of the, weather producers at 7
As for the clothes on-air personalities get free clothes, this is why you see the names of the stores in the closing credits at the end of a newscast.
The clothes are only for work and stay at work so perhaps this was the case with Vivian she just dipped in Elita’s on-air wardrobe.
Nothing bad or unusual 🙂
admin, that actually told me that the on-air talent gets free clothes. One day on Deco Drive, Lynn and the new girl, they were racing around the plex in these toilet carts. It was hilarious! Then, when Lynn reached the News Desk, her bodypack transmitter (microphone pack) fell off, I saw a tag from a store on the back of her shirt. Then I thought, they get free clothes.
but the question is brandon – do they get to keep it when they are not on the air?
lol. if billi is the lightweight, who’s the heavyweight in that shop?
David- I’m pretty sure they do not get to keep the clothes. If I am not mistaken, Admin mentioned it above in his entry.
exactly my point, so in the end they dont get free clothes
David- As far as I’m concerned, no.
My sources have confirmed that on-air personalities receive sponsors like Cache or Bebe for example. They barrow their clothes. They do not keep their clothes no store their clothes in the station. Their is no wardrobe stored…If the on-air personality wishes to stay with any particular piece they liked, they can purchase it using a discount that the store gives them for being their sponsor.
well i could have told you that with out the sources.. When i do fashion show half of the time i dont get to keep the clothes. They offer it at a discount price.

Admin, for running this site, you are surely misinformed….
The on-air personaltities are NOT givien free clothing. They are sponsered by department stores, to BORROW their clothing, which yes, that is the reason why you see the names of the stores in the closing credits. However, the clothing does not stay at the station, it is returned to the store. If they choose to keep them, as ARTQT stated, they receive a discount to purchase the items. So there is no way that anyone can slip into anyone else’s clothing. Besides, if you haven’t noticed, Elita is somewhat heavier than Vivian.
has anybody ever thought that each station has a different clothing policy or arrangement?? I dont know for sure, but if u guys have different information – then maybe thats the case – 1 station borrows the clothes while the other station gets free clothes to keep at the station. Julia Yarbough and Jacki Nespral always seem to where repeating outfits, in their cases they dont give the clothes back. But what about the guys’ clothes, they merley wear sports jackets and ties, except of course for the gay guy on 7.
I don’t claim to be THE most informed.
Simply stating what I’ve been told by SOME on air people. Different stations, different rules.
My comment was simply a reply regarding Vivian eliglbily slipping into Elita’s clothing…. I have my facts straight when it came it down to what I said about thier waredrbe. Now regarding other on air personalitiies or other stations… I don’t know. No one was commenting on other personalities or other stations.
For the love of God! No one on this blog knows how to spell.
“where” instead of wear.. “barrow” instead of borrow. “waredrbe”?? What is the deal?
david which gay guy??
the deco drive guy – louie aquire (sorry for the spelling mr.bjones, im too lzy to look up the actual spelling)
MISTER BJONES- Gee, I didn’t know that this was the Florida Writes FCAT exam. Give me a break!
ok
let’s leave people’s whatever preferences out of the discussion shall we
Mr. admin – im sorry i said anything – i merley originally stated it as a point of reference (did not mean any disrespect) – & then mIchael asked me what I meant – i appologise.
But i am still curious about what the arragement or arragements are for the male anchors’ clothes??????
I look forward to hearing of your successes throughout this year and into the outlook to come. Make a difference each and every day. Remember, as the song says, “Thanks for memories.†You all will always hold a distinctive place in my heart.
I wish you the best of luck with your future endeavors.
As always, keep up the good work!
Sincerely,
F.L. Gadson
