Since purchasing KTVK from Gannett (er, Tegna), Meredith has been cutting staff in preparation for the big move into one building. They just dumped anchor Catherine Anaya, for bargain priced Kris Pickel.

Sources tell FTVLive that a couple of assignment desk people were shown the door at KPHO, and another at KTVK. You can bet there will be a lot more of this as the merger of the two newsrooms gets closer and closer.

Hey, they don't call it 'Meredeath' for nothing.
