Another One Shuffling Off From Buffalo
It appears that Nexstar owned WIVB is about to lose another female Anchor.
Anchor Nalina Shapiro left the station earlier this month to follow her boyfriend to Dallas.
Now, it appears that Weekend Anchor Callan Gray is also packing her bags.
According to sources, Gray is leaving the station after her contract runs out in a few weeks.
WIVB General Manager Dominic Mancuso declined comment about whether the station is losing its second female anchor in less than two months.
The Buffalo News writes that Gray was about to celebrate her three-year anniversary at the station. She seemed to be the likely replacement for Shapiro on the station's 5:30 p.m. newscast and the 10 p.m. newscast on sister station WNLO.
According to sources, Gray may be headed to a Minneapolis station instead.
Gray didn't return phone and email messages for comment.
Gray's move could have repercussions for WGRZ-TV since her boyfriend is Channel 2 reporter Danny Spewak. There are conflicting reports over whether Gray or Spewak has landed a job out-of-town. The one constant in the reports is that Gray is leaving Channel 4. The speculation and expectation inside their newsrooms is that they will leave together.
Spewak, who has been at the NBC affiliate for almost five years and is highly regarded as a reporter, also couldn't be reached for comment. He arrived in June of 2013, which means his contract most likely is up this June.
