Former WPTV anchor Laurel Sauer is coming back to Palm Beach airwaves. She will host her own segment on the 11pm newscast of WPBF titled ‘Laurel Sauer: On Assignment’, according to Page2Live.
Laurel Sauer left WPTV abruptly in September of 2008 as changes were afoot at the station, some would say for the worse. Even earlier than that, in January of 2008, rumors came to light that Sauer was telling friends WPTV might not renew her contract when it came up for renewal, she was out September 30th without fanfare and week-long send offs. Just as soon as she left Laurel Sauer lawyered up, hiring famed West Palm lawyer Jack Scarola, Page2Live now says she has since settled with WPTV with undisclosed.
Sauer anchored the news on WPTV alongside Jim Sackett for about 20 years and were the team to beat throughout that time. Prior to WPTV Sauer was an anchor at WPEC for 8 years.
