Oklahoma City News TV personalities: past & present.

[Pete]

Will miss Lacey and look forward to seeing the great things she'll do with Goodwill. I do hope KFOR finds someone to continue her A Place to Call Home series.

They are going to continue it and Lacey wants to remain involved in the cause as well.

That early morning routine is an incredible grind and she had been doing it for years.

With Lacey Lett's upcoming departure, and KFOR advertising for WGN's News Nation; Is KAUT converting to the new WGN News Nation? Just curious.

To my knowledge, no. NewsNation will be a nightly three hour program on WGN which is also now owned by KFOR and KAUT's parent company, Nexstar. From all indications I have, KFOR will continue the Rise and Shine program on KAUT since it can be sold to local advertisers.

I hated to see Lacey leave. We only recently discovered Rise and Shine and it's really fun, not trying at all to be a "hard news" show and putting a light spin on things. Wish her well. She seems like such a nice young lady...

I’ve always liked her. Since I would think she’ll be doing public interface type stuff for Goodwill I probably would have seen her a few times a year if I hadn’t stopped volunteering for United Way.

What happened to KFOR's Taylor Addams?

What happened to KFOR's Taylor Addams?

I believe that she is now the official spokesperson for OESC assisting Shelley Zumwalt.

KWTV's Kelsey Kernstine is leaving to join the Chicago market. I wonder who her replacement will be?

You knew she wouldn't be here long. Movin on up.

She was pretty good in "Hell Bent for Leather".

KWTV's Kelsey Kernstine is leaving to join the Chicago market. I wonder who her replacement will be?

Not sure. Will they replace her? I don't know about other morning shows on other channels but it seems that KWTV went overboard on hiring their morning show. 2 meteorolgists on the morning show saying the same thing over and over seems to be a little overkill. And it seemed like Kernstine was basically the traffic person, and let's be honest, traffic is not that big of a deal here.

She was a fill in on the morning and noon news. I agree on the traffic, KFOR got rid of their traffic reporter, only KOKH has a dedicated traffic person.

KOCO has a dedicated traffic reporter flying around in a helicopter Monday through Friday at 6 am until around 7 am.

Emily Akins (KFOR) has announced that she is leaving KFOR. Don't know what her next move is.

[djohn]

Not sure where to ask this...

Anyone know what happened to KOKH Fox 25 this morning? There is no local news - just a national feed.

I’m not sure, but it could be related to the ransomware attack on Sinclair, the owner of KOKH.

Yes she's out to the ABC affiliate there in PHX.

I noticed that Jacklyn Chappell is no longer at KFOR. Does anyone know where she went or did she give up broadcast journalism altogether? Thanks.

Yes, she has taken a job at Integris, though I'm not sure what role. I would guess it's a PIO/PR position since that seems to be the migration out of TV news.

She went to Integris Health.
