The Last Rating Book in Albuquerque?

Is this the last rating book for KOAT (Albuquerque) Anchor Shelly Ribando at the Hearst station?

Back in September, FTVLive FIRST told you that Ribando was spotted in a number of stations on the East coast and sources tell FTVLive she could be bolting KOAT shortly after the Feb book.

We hear that management still hasn’t decided on a replacement if indeed she does leave. There were rumors that when KOAT hired Darleen “The Tongue” Melendez, she was looked at as a possible replacement for Ribando?

But, according to insiders, “The Tongue” has left a bad taste in the mouth of managers and newsroom staff alike.

Stay tuned….
