After FTVLive broke the news , many scrambled to try and confirm our story.
Well, this morning at the WGCL newsroom morning meeting, there sat Thomas Roberts. He was being introduced to the staff that already knew he was coming, thanks to FTVLive.
About the same time Roberts was shaking hands and meeting his new co-workers, the station was sending out this press release.
Of course, all of this is old news to anyone that reads FTVLive.
Just saying....
Here's the release:
