That Was Quick

It appears that WTAJ (Altoona) Morning Anchor Jillian McCarthy has left the station after a few months on the job.

“WTAJ could not be more excited about Jordan and Jillian leading the morning news,” WTAJ News Director Steven Shaw said when McCarthy was hired along with her co-anchor Jordan Tracy.

McCarthy started at the Nexstar station in late May, coming from KREX in Grand Junction, Colorado, which is also owned by Nexstar.

Now less than 5 months later, McCarthy appears to be gone.

There has been no official word as to why she is already gone from WTAJ?

A check of the WTAJ website lists her as a “former anchor” at the station.
