Departures at 6 ABC & CBS-3

WPVI-TV recently announced the retirement of long-timer Cathy Gandolfo. She joined the station in 1975 and moved up from writer to reporter two years later. By 1978, she was named New Jersey correspondent. Gandolfo leaves the airwaves at the end of this year.
Meanwhile, across the city at KYW's CBS-3, Dave Huddleston tweeted this past Sunday that he's leaving Philadelphia for a new job in Alanta at station WSB-TV. Huddleston arrived in Philadelphia back in 2002 when he worked at FOX 29's "FOX 29 News". He was let go and moved on to CBS 3 in November 2008 as the new weekend co-anchor of "Eyewitness News". Three months later, he launched the new 10:00 p.m. newscast on sister station, CW 57. Huddleston will anchor on WSB's "Action News" beginning in January.

That's a shame to hear about Dave. It seems like he never really caught on at channel 3. Best of luck in Atlanta!

I thought he was a great newscaster, professional and you could see he was geniunely caring and considerate. I don't watch it now, I wait until 11.

Dave making a big mistake. Atlanta TV is minor league compared to Phila. The talent and production other than Fox 5 is a disgrace. WSB-TV should have the best but do not. No good interaction between anchors.
