Las Vegas television stations are losing talented personnel as key personalities leave willingly and without choice.
At KTNV TV-13, weather forecaster Amanda Sanchez is leaving the station to become meteorologist at the CBS affiliate in Sacramento.
The loss of Sanchez comes at a bad time for KTNV, which is in the middle of a crippling hiring freeze. However, the move is especially beneficial for Sanchez, who is from Reno and will now be closer to her family.
In the meantime, talented reporter and anchor Mitch Truswell will soon leave KVBC TV-3 where has been a proven member of the news staff serving in various roles including that of the station’s investigative reporter.
Truswell’s departure comes in the middle of budget cuts at KVBC which is an NBC affiliate. He joined the station as a morning and noon anchor in 2003 after working in Phoenix for six years and leaves as the station a victim of budget cuts.
Since joining KVBC, Truswell has been heavily involved in the community where he has been on the Board of Directors for the Juvenile Diabetes Research Foundation of Southern Nevada.
