His first day on the new job is August 1st. So i am guessing that he has about another week or 2 left at KOCO

I figured something was up when he was no longer doing 6pm. Hopefully in a big city he can be more himself if you all know what i mean.

He stop doing the 6:00 PM Newscast since about a year ago. Maybe he told the station that he wasn't renewing his contract once its up so they started to look for his replacement and it looks like its going to be Abagail Ogle

Also a little off topic but where has Lance West been. Haven't seen him on social media in over a week now?

Oklahoma's weather should prepare him for any area of the country. Wish Paul the best...

Anyone know if KOCO is going to fill Paul's spot with another anchor, or if they are going to keep a two anchor main team with Jessica and Abigial at 5, 6, 9. and 10.

What does that mean? "Hopefully in a big city he can be more himself?" That is a odd statement, (smh).

No idea i look up the jobs available at KOCO 5 and there isn't one of an Anchor position. So don't be surprised if they go with Jessica and Abigail at 5,6,9 and 10.

I think Lance West would be a good hire.

He wouldn't want the pay cut.
