Better check with the poster known as TV Friend. He writes that Cathy Orosz is leaving Channel 8 at the end of the year. The reason, according to a reliable source, is that Orosz won't be anchoring the early morning show. Like her predecessor, Melissa Long, Orosz was told that she is going back into the field as a reporter, which means less money in her paycheck.
"TV Friend" also claims that meteorologists Rob Haswell and Christine Crafts are also leaving 8.
Scott Fybush reported on his web site,
www.fybush.com , weeks ago on the arrival of Corning native Lia Lando to anchor FOX 31's 10:00 newscast five nights, with Katrina Irwin taking up the anchor duties the remaining two nights a week.
