Patience Hettrick (above) was named News Director at WGGB in Springfield this spring; we appreciate our readers’ patience as it took us a few months to post this despite the fact that Patience is a good friend of The Laurel! Patience moves to WGGB after serving as Assistant News Director at another Meredith-owned station, WFSB, for the past 8 years (her tenure at channel 3 began in 1998). Her successor at WFSB has just been named: Shawana Perry, former Executive Producer who had moved on from WFSB but is back as Assistant News Director. We’re told her co-workers are happy she has returned.
