FTVLive FIRST told you that KTLA had parted ways with News Director Pete Saiers last week.

Sources tell FTVLive that Saiers had a scathing year-end review with general manager Janene Drafs last week which culminated in his so-called “resignation.”

Assistant News Director Kerry Brace has been named the interim News Director as a search for a new ND is launched.

Brace is expected to put her name in for the ND gig, but one station insider does not believe she will get the job.

“Brace was passed over for the job the first time around for Pete,” the source says, “She does not have the confidence of the newsroom or the general manager to be bumped to the position this time around either,” the source adds.

Stay tuned…
