KREM2 in Spokane says goodbye to Regan Gallo-Fenz, who is leaving to tend more to her marriage and family per her social media post. She says she elected not to renew her expiring contract after a two-year stint. Regan is an Arizona State U. Cronkite School Masters grad. She won Miss Pierce County and Miss Washington in 2022.
Best of luck to Regan on her future endeavors. It is understandable, though regrettable, to see people leaving the industry after much shorter stints than they used to.
ReplyDeleteLet’s see if TEGNA will replace her. The roster is very light at KREM. Emphases on “very” and “light.” This is probably why they allowed her to backup anchor and forecast. Not my preferred style of reporting but good luck to her in the future.
ReplyDeleteKREM ND left the newsroom to work in sales. The place is near the ICU.
DeleteThe KREM "Meet the Team" only has 14 people listed, not counting their longtime chief meterologist Tom Sherry who retired a few years ago. Once Regan leaves, they'll be down to 13. Thats pretty bad for a station in a rapidly growing market (mid 60s on the Nielsen rankings). They need an infusion of good talent!
