Going Part Time in St. Louis

An internal memo went out to the staff at Tegna’s KSDK (St. Louis) informing them that after the November book, main Anchor Anne Allred is going to work part-time.

Allred anchored the 6 and 10 PM newscasts but will soon just be doing the 6.

Here’s the memo from News Director Carol Fowler and obtained by FTVLive.

Everyone -

I'd like to share news of a change that that Anne Allred and I have spent several weeks discussing.

After November sweeps, Anne will step back from the 10pm newscast as Monday - Friday co-anchor.

She will continue as anchor of the 6pm and still report regularly for our Verify segment and other special projects.

This move - leaving the 10pm as co-anchor - was at Anne's request: "With the end of my contract approaching, it was a good time to reevaluate. This is a great next step for me professionally and personally. It allows me to continue to do the job I love with our amazing 50YS team."

Anne's excellent reporting will be a regular fixture of the late news, even if she won't be in studio live.

We will be naming a new 10pm anchor to work with Mike. More on that to follow!

While Fowler did not say who will replace Allred, look for 5 PM Anchor Kelly Jackson to be named.

That’s still a secret, so don’t tell anyone….k?
