We're not sure if he knows yet and we know that the staff doesn't know, but Sinclair will soon be sacking KUTV (Salt Lake City) News Director Lee Eldridge. 

Sinclair sources tell FTVLIve that Eldridge could learn as early as today that he is being let go by the station and word is that a replacement has already been found. 

Eldridge was hired in April 2015 and it will not be making it to his two year anniversary at the station. 

No word if this played a part in Eldrigge's soon to be axing, but we would not be surprised. 

Look for word to come down that Eldridge is no longer with then comapny very soon.
