Sources tell Florida News Center that the Rudy Murrieta is out as News Director at the Orlando 24 hour cable station.

WTSP has announced that it will launch a half-hour newscast, which will air at 8:30 a.m. on Sunday mornings. The new newscast debuts on March 1st and will be anchored by Mark Rivera and feature meteorologist Ashley Batey and “On the Road” reporter Bobby Lewis.
WTSP general manager Elliott Wiser told TVSpy.com that the show will take “a more in-depth look at local stories, with less crime and more news befitting Sunday morning.”
Viewers of Tampa 24 hr cable channel Bay News 9 might have noticed meteorologist Brian McClure sporting a fancy new fashion accessory this week. He showed up on the Thursday newscasts, with his right arm in a sling. McClure noted on Twitter that he broke his wrist after falling off of a ladder earlier in the week.
We wish Mr. McClure a speedy recovery! Check out the pics below.
