Longo leaving WTAE
TV Notes
Thursday, December 11, 2008

Bob Longo, news director at WTAE since 1999, will leave the station next month to take over as news director at WESH in Orlando, Fla., a sister station that, like WTAE, is owned by Hearst-Argyle.

General manager Rick Henry said Longo was hired by WESH general manager Jim Carter, a former sales director at WTAE.

"Bob has done a terrific job here," Henry said. "He'll be able to meet whatever challenges they have in Orlando."

A search for Longo's replacement has begun.
