We were pleased to get a report that former WTIC-AM news director Dana Whalen is back on the air in Hartford and delivering the news.
She is doing some work with WNPR over the summer as Harriet Jones(WNPR’s business reporter) takes a trip home to Scotland(in case you weren’t sure of the accent).
WNPR news director John Dankosky says he’s “thrilled to be working with one of Connecticut’s best and most experienced broadcasters.”
This scenario may have been predicted a few months back when Whalen’s position was eliminated at WTIC. Dankosky and WNPR afternoon host Colin McEnroe both offered high praise for Whalen publicly and McEnroe criticized the decision to let her go.
