Changes in The A-T-L

One time Atlanta powerhouse WSB is tweaking its anchor lineup.

WSB has started slipping ever since Apollo took control of the Cox stations and started slashing budgets.

WSB is seen as vulnerable for the first time in decades and it appears that are making some changes to their anchor lineups.

As of Tuesday, September 6, WSB has made changes to its early evening and late news anchor assignments.

Action News @ 4PM will feature Justin Farmer and Wendy Corona

While Action News @ 5PM will have Jorge Estevez and Karyn Greer

Action News @ 6PM has Justin Farmer and Linda Stouffer

And the WSB Tonight @ 11PM has Jorge Estevez and Wendy Corona

Farmer is the son of late long-time news icon Don Farmer and retired Journalist Chris Curle. 

Don Farmer, who passed away in March 2021 worked at WSB for 10 years (1987-1997), and worked at CNN in its first decade on the air, and was ABC News correspondent for years prior to CNN.

Greer joins WSB after leaving WGCL (soon-to-be WANF-TV) back in February.  Greer previously worked at WXIA-TV for nearly 16 years (1999-2015), and started her Atlanta TV career at WGCL (when it was WGNX-TV) from 1989-1999.

Stouffer previously co-anchored WSB morning news with Fred Blankenship till last year, and WSB moved weekend anchor Lori Wilson to morning shift.
