CHANGES IN CCT NEWS CCT News, the most watched cable news station in the country, has just hired Greg O'Connell to be its new 8 p.m. anchor. Mr. O'Connell is taking over for Pauline Fields, an anchor who retired last month after 20 years on the job. Mr. O'Connell brings extensive industry experience. A veteran reporter, he began as a community news writer for Cork County Ledger, then graduated to editing headline news for five years. Following that, Mr. O'Connell took a job as the assistant news anchor at a local TV station. Flis broadcasts became increasingly popular, and two years later, he was offered a job as the head anchor at WQZ Nightly News. After 10 years on the job, he left WQZ because of the new position at CCT News. George McDonough, the head of CCT News, says he couldn't be happier with their new anchor. "I first met Greg while working as a producer at WQZ and have been a fan of his ever since," he says. "He is an exemplary newscaster who brings both charisma and a true investigative spirit to the job." Mr. O'Connell's first night on the air will be May 7. Until then, Richard Marshall will be filling in as the temporary anchor. |
