Page2Live reporting Michael Williams is leaving WFOR at the end of February to join Palm Beach NBC affiliate WPTV. He’s allegedly slated to replace long-time anchor Jim Sackett who is expected to retire when his contract expires this year.
Michael Williams joined WFOR in very early 2008 as a political and special investigations reporter. Williams left WTVJ in January 2007 when NBC6 moved to single anchor format at 11pm.
Congratulations, Micheal. A loss for Miami/Ft. Lauderdale. It’s a nice homecoming for him since he worked in the West Palm market 3 decades ago.
Williams is one of the few class acts left in local Miami tv news.
It says something about WFOR when a person of his caliber leaves.
Williams is going to make WPTV even stronger than it already is.
A huge loss for WFOR.
Nice guy, a class act, congratulations and best of luck!
I enjoyed him as a reporter in Ft Lauderdale market.Glad he is up here again,a real class act!
