It appears that former NY and LA News Director Vickie Burns is back in the Big Apple. 

As FTVLive earlier reported, Burns was spotted in a talent audition at WPIX. Now word is that Burns will be hooking on with a full time role at the struggling Tribune station. 

Tuned In reports are that all indications are she’ll be named a consultant alongside news director Mark Effron. There is also a possibility that Burns could assume a newly created station manager position.

Burns’ last TV job was as KNBC news director in 2012.

So far WPIX isn't talking.
