Andre Hepkins…. and Chez Pazienza!
Andre Hepkins – He was former Miami reporter at WSVN, allegedly “let go” from WNYW in New York a few months back and now interviewing for a reporter position at NBC6. He was there Friday.
Possible: Chez Pazienza -He was the former producer at CNN and WTVJ. Allegedly fired from CNN for posting blogs that were critical of the news business and his bosses. He was at WTVJ on Friday. If he did take a position there, it would most likely be for the assistant news director or executive producer’s position. Not sure which.
According to sources, he was talking to Yvette Miley about possible open positions.
Damn, the Andre Hepkins is hott.I would love to see him back in South Florida. FOr some reason though, I would love to see him back at Channel 7.
Hot??? Are you in need of glasses? He is not attractive. His contract was not renewed. He has been looking since September.
Sarah. I got news for you. There are a lot of good reporters and anchors who are currently unemployed across the country. Their “contracts were not renewed.”
“Are you in need of glasses?” We are in a RECESSION idiot!
Dang.
I missed out on the NBC6 interviews.
I’m desperately trying to get back to South Florida.
Hopefully I can get the job at FOX7, I hear they’re looking for a reporter too.
You didn’t miss anything. They’re still actively searching.
“Fox 7” (Channel 7 ahemmm) i don’t know what’s going on.
Alex, Have you heard anything about Demarco Morgan? When will the new graphics and nbcmiami.com debut? Also, why cant WTVJ get a new set? This summer is going to make it 9 years. WPLG has there excuse they have had there set for about 10 years now.
Demarco Morgan – Nothing. He can stay in NY, thank you.
Graphics – No news.. So no idea if they’ll get them. I’d guess they will.
NBCMiami.com debut was pushed back to March.
and as for the set. Money. It would cost NBC over 20 million (somewhere around there) of money they don’t have… to upgrade a station they may not keep… and that’s in last place. See why not? They are, however, constructing new office/cubicles for the people coming over from the NBC6 studio in Miami. Just saw it in the background of the news update.
ALex, I dont think you remember this when WTVJ announced the station was moving to miramar and have a window of the world studio in downtown miami. The studio was not suppose to be at the AAA. I think that was a cheap route from NBC and going through the building codes. I enjoyed passing by the studios, but I never figured why it wasnt fully used like TISF OR SFT displaying biscayne bay. Sad and embarassing! Why dont you like Demarco Morgan? He is an average anchor and great reporter.
Ahh, that’s right. I did like that Friday Live stunt they did. I liked how they had the natural background during the reports. I don’t like Demarco.. just.. because. He just was way to cocky for my taste and.. he’s just that.. “average.”
i think there were sunrise-in-the-east issues with lighting
I hear Demarco isn;t doing very well in New York. The Daily News did a story calling him a “vanilla minority hire.”
Well.. that’s what he is.. haha
Is Demarco gay or bi? When he is on camera he acts so pretty and arrogant with Jackie & my family says the same thing. Demarco & Juila makes a great team compared with Demarco & Jackie. Jackie looks uncomfortable with him at the desk. Jackie & Juila has the best chemistry with Joel Connable. Demarco is fine in person, I caught him staring me down. He is a totally different person off camera.
Jackie looks uncomfortable with anyone except perhaps Julia. I guess she’s not happy working with “the guys”. Jackie’s necessary comfort level is just way too high, and it’s apparent.
BTW, someone needs to tell Jackie to stop looking at herself in the monitor while she’s on camera. It’s annoying as hell to watch her watching herself.
