Cincy Sports Anchor Kind of Retiring

Here's a thought, when some anchor leaves their job and they say "it was entirely my decision" it most likely wasn't.

​WCPO Sports Anchor Dennis Janson told viewers tonight he’s leaving anchor chair next Wednesday. Unbelievably that is also the last day a sweeps. What a coincidence! 

The sports anchor says he is leaving the anchor chair to work primarily for the WCPO.com website writing a column.

Details of his new duties will be revealed later, he said, but “there will be a role for me on the air, with an edge.”

More often than not, stations staffers working on the website are just kids right out of school making next to nothing. ​

So the idea of taking the main sports anchor off air and having him work mainly for the station's website, shows a great commitment by the station and how much they realize that ​the Internet presence is vitally important.... Or they wanted to bump down the sports guy and replace him with someone new.

​Janson claims the idea was all his. “This transition is solely – I say solely – my decision,” he tells Cincy Enquirer. 

Uh-Oh!
