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.
