WTTG in DC has been going through some big Anchor changes and they are this/close to announcing another huge change.

FTVLive has learned EXCLUSIVELY from insiders at the Fox O&O, that the station will soon announce a new main anchor team.

Blake McCoy and and Angie Goff will become the new faces for the DC station.

FTVLive reached out to Agent Rick Ramage, who reps McCoy and Agent Jerry Silbowitz, who reps Goff for comment. We did not hear back from either.

Goff was anchoring the 4PM newscast with McCoy until she moved to the morning newscast. Sources Inside the station say that Goff did not “gel with her co-workers” on the morning newscast and she has been posting on social media that she is headed back to the 4PM newscast.

But, according to FTVLive sources, Goff, along with McCoy will be taking on much bigger roles than just the 4 PM. Expect to see them anchoring other newscasts, including the late news.

Goff will be taking over for Shawn Yancy who has left the station, who could be headed to WRC.

With Goff leaving the morning newscast, that opens up a hole that is still open since longtime anchor Allison Seymour left and will soon be headed here.

FTVLive has heard who the station will be filling that spot with and we will tell you soon.

The station is trying to keep all these moves hush/hush, but you can expect the Goff/McCoy news to be announced either later this week or next.

Stay tuned and remember where you heard it first, as always.

Note: We did not reach out to Fox Television for comment about these upcoming changes, because past dealings with them show that it would be a futile effort to do so. Not to be confused with Fox News, whom FTVLive enjoys dealing with and has a good relationship with.

Correction: An earlier version of this story said that McCoy will be taking over for Jim LoKay, but that Lokay was remaining at the station. McCoy will be doing the 6PM newscast at the 11PM newscast. Lokay anchors the 5-7-10 and 11:30PM shows.So, McCoy will be moving to the main shows at 6PM and 11PM, which are not shows done by Lokay. A Google search said that Lokay did the 6 and 11PM newscast. We want to correct that he does not do those shows and will apologize for the error.
