SYRACUSE — Two multi-media journalists are leaving CNY Central within the near future. Multi-media journalists Caitlin Nuclo and Chris McGrath have also served as producers and anchors during their time at the combined facilities of NBC3 (WSTM), CBS5 (WTVH) and CW6 (WSTQ-LP).
SYRACUSE — Today and tomorrow will be the last two days you’ll have a chance to catch Anthony Adornato in his old seat behind the anchor desk on Today in Central New York on NBC3 (WSTM). He agreed to fill-in alongside Lisa Spitz for the first two weeks of regular anchor Megan Coleman’s maternity leave (as reported here earlier, she had a son, Harry, over the weekend). With his time almost up, viewers are wondering… who’s next? Last night, the station revealed another former local TV journalist will be helping out.

WASHINGTON, DC — For years, the FCC has allowed television stations to reduce operating expenses by forming duopolies or other agreements where multiple stations are operated under one roof.

Updated 7:55pm – SYRACUSE — From the “better late than never” file, a familiar face has returned to Today in Central New York on NBC3 (WSTM). Anthony Adornato, who left the anchor desk in 2007, has been back to fill-in for Megan Coleman, as she takes some time off after giving birth to a baby boy.
