TV3+more page TV 3 Alumni: Where Did They Go?, or "Where's Meg?" It's a fact of life that in a small television market like ours, turnover is generally rapid. We might get used to a particular news anchor or weather person, who then moves on to another job. If you don't happen to be watching on that person's last day on the job, you might never hear anything more. So, for all the TV 3 fans in the area, www.bridgewaterva.com is keeping this listing. If you know where some of your favorite TV 3 alumni went, please send e-mail to w o o d w c at gmail.com and I'll add them to this listing. Thanks! Please note: I post everything I get as soon as I get it. Therefore, if someone has left TV3 and you don't see the name here, it won't do any good to e-mail asking if I know where somebody went . . . if I knew, it would already be posted. :) If you'd like to open the question up to anyone who might respond, please post it on the bulletin board here. Here's the current list: |
