The Deuce is Done at WPIX

It's a changing of the guard at WPIX in New York.

As FTVLive told you, the struggling Tribune station ​recently hired Mark Effron as their new News Director.

And with a new ND, changes can be expected.​

Longtime Assistant News Director John Houseman is leaving the station at the end of Today.  ​

Houseman spent more than 20 years at WPIX and he was the interim News Director for months after Bill Carey left the station.​

It was widely speculated that when he wasn't bumped up to the ND gig, that his future at the station was expected to be short lived.​

It was and he's out, but word is he's leaving on good terms. ​

Effron is expect to hire "his own person" in the next few weeks. ​
