Two days ago, FTVLive told you that longtime KWQC (Davenport) anchor Gary Metivier announced he's leaving the station. 

Well, it sure didn't take long for the station to replace him. 

KWQC announced that morning Anchor David Nelson is getting bumped up to the big chair at the station. 

“I’ve loved anchoring KWQC’s morning news for the past nine years and am grateful to all the viewers who start each day with us,” Nelson says. “Now, it is a tremendous honor to be chosen to replace Gary as evening anchor.”

KWQC News Director, Stephanie Hedrick, says making the decision to promote Nelson was an easy one.

“I have been continually impressed by David’s news judgement and admire his willingness and ability to engage with our viewers on-the-air and online,” says Hedrick. “He’s continually looking for ways to improve our newscasts and serve our viewers. That makes David the kind of strong partner we need in the evenings.”
