Resurfacing in Charlotte

Back in December, FTVLive told you that KTUL (Tulsa) Reporter Maureen Wurtz opted not to sign a new contract and was going to explore other options in the industry.

Well, it appears that Wurtz is resurfacing on the East coast at Nexstar’s WJZY in Charlotte.

“I am very grateful Maureen has decided to join my team in Charlotte,” WJZY News Director Casey Clark told FTVLive.

Wurtz is one of the few Reporters left that seem to understand that the story is the focus and she knows how to write to the video.

In a TV news world where Reporters want to make the story about them and have no clue how to use video and nat sound in a package, Wurtz is refreshingly old school, despite the fact that she isn’t old.

She starts her new gig in Charlotte on May 3rd.
