Wonder if he will simply go elsewhere, ala Bob Allen or others in the past. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think he will land somewhere else. My suspicion is KPRC because 13's former long time news director is over there now. Eyewitness News is not what it used to be, maybe Dave realizes this.

The last few lines of this piece on him make me think the same. Definitely not retirement. http://www.houstonchronicle.com/life/columnists/hoffman/article/Anchorman-Dave-Ward-says-there-s-no-longer-a-9136397.php Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lawson (former founding pastor of Wheeler Avenue Baptist Church) is alive, they're NOT going to remove Melanie from Ch. 13 anytime soon! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
