News Photographer Freddy Wheeler is leaving The Firm and is headed to CNN. 

Wheeler has been working at WTTG in DC for less than a year and is now headed to CNN. Wheeler was first mention on FTVLive when he was laid off from his job at NH1 News Network in New Hampshire. 

When the station shutdown, Wheeler was working on a big story with NH1 Anchor Celine McArthur. 

Despite being put out of work, Wheeler and McArthur spent their severance checks to continue to covering the story they started.

The story eventually aired on a Boston station. 

It's not often that you find people as dedicated as this. CNN gain is WTTG's loss. 

Congrats Freddy on the new gig. 

This picture is Freddy with FTVLive's person of the year Annie Yu. It's very hard to find pictures of Wheeler, because he thinks its all about the story and not about him. 

Imagine that.
