As we wait to see what develops out of the WLOS job search for a new sports reporter (see earlier post by scrolling down or clicking on “WLOS” at the end of this post), we’ll keep wondering.

Poster WNC Rod says he thinks Jenny Dunn could be the one on the way out:

-My money is on Jenny Dunn. I’ve seen her out shooting her own sports footage. This sounds more like a description of her job than JenXtremlyannoying.

Who knows? We’ll keep our eyes open. Meantime, could Scottie2Hottie be looking for a new gig? We hapened upon medialine, a Web site for TV folks that allows folks to post their resumes and video clips online. In the talent showcase we found Scottie2Hottie pimping himself:
