Short Staffed in Roanoke

Insiders tell FTVLive that Graham’s WSLS is so short-staffed the sports guy is anchoring the news.

A source says that the station is short 2 anchors, 2 METS, an MMJ, producer and several technical positions.

We hear that longtime Sports Director John Appicello has been tapped to anchor a number of newscasts.

FTVLive worked with Appicello decades ago and while he’s the kind of guy that will step up to help out, I’m not sure viewers want to get their news from the sports guy.

Just saying….
