Former popular NBC CT sportscaster Beasley Reece has been let go as sports anchor at KYW in Philadelphia where he’s been since 1998.
According to several reports, Reece and two other top on-air personalities, were given the hook just before the 5p.m. news Tuesday afternoon. So far there is no explanation for the changes other than references to “new management” at the CBS station.
Before his career in sportscasting, Reece played in the NFL with the Dallas Cowboys and Tampa Bay Buccaneers.
Chris May, a KYW news anchor who once worked with WBZ in Boston was also let go in the clean sweep.
