A Phoenix Reporter is resurfacing in a much colder climate.

KNVX (Phoenix) Reporter Jon Erickson is moving within the Scripps family to WGBA in Green Bay. While it is a huge drop in market size, Erickson is moving from Reporter to Anchor.

"We are so excited to have a journalist of Jon's caliber joining our news team," said WGBA News Director Julie Moravchik. "He's an Emmy award winning breaking news reporter and a dedicated and passionate journalist."

Before moving to Phoenix, Erickson worked in New Bern, N.C. as a weekend anchor and "lead" reporter.

"The best part about Jon is he's a good person with a good heart, and I know Wisconsinites will love him," Moravchik said.

You know as opposed to the people that station hired that were awful and had no heart.
