It might have to do with recent ratings, but then it might not, 7News has a “new” ND (news director). Tom Gonzalez-Diego who previously worked as an Assistant News Director took the reins from long-time ND Alice Jacobs. She on the other hand has been promoted to Vice President of News and Programming and will oversee the news operations for both WSVN and WHDH.
7News has been seeing a lot of ratings decline lately and this move might have a lot to do with it. Additionally there’s talk some people over there have made up their minds to leave the station. Namely Brian Andrews who’s contract expires in May of 2004. If that happens one can only wonder what the suits (and skirts) over there have been drinking, considering the election is getting near and losing Brian and others would be a huge negative.
