While we were off the grid, longtime News Director Phil Metlin retired from Fox O&O WTTG on Thursday. 

Metlin had been at the DC station since 2010. 

 “I would like to thank Phil for his 21 years of outstanding service and dedication to FTS. He has been a valued member of our team and I’d like to wish him well in the next chapter of his life,” GM Patrick Paolin said in a statement.

Metlin's last day was Thursday, the same day he announced he was "retiring."

Is it just me? Something ain't right with the story the station is and Metlin are putting out.  

Hmmmmm?
