inside wral: goodbye raleigh, hello atlanta!

Welcome to Inside WRAL, a blog that focuses on the interesting, strange, funny or just off-the-wall things that happen behind the scenes here at the station.

---------------------------------------------------------------------------

Erin Coleman

We said goodbye on Friday to anchor/reporter Erin Coleman who has accepted a job at WSB-TV in Atlanta. Did you know that it’s one of the top 10 TV markets in the nation? Very impressive, Erin!

She will be the weekend morning anchor. Her first day is Oct. 5, and she’ll be joining another WRAL alum, anchor John Bachman. He worked here from 2003-07.

Besides acclimating to a new job, Erin is also planning her wedding for next year.

She began her journalism career in 2001 as a reporter in Jonesboro, Ark. About a year later, she moved to Greensboro and spent three years at WFMY News 2. She came to WRAL in 2006 and has worked as a reporter and weekend morning news anchor.

Erin is originally from Philadelphia but said she has some family in Atlanta. As for her former WRAL co-workers, she jokes that at least one of them is “heartbroken.”

“(Reporter) Dan Bowens is heartbroken because his ‘desk-mate’ is gone,” she said. “(Photographer) Ed Wilson now has no one to sing with him in the car … I’m just kidding btw.”

Please join me in congratulating Erin on her new job. Best of luck to you, Erin!

Congratulations!!!

Good luck and enjoy Hotlanta.

I always liked her, her smile is so fresh and genuine. Good luck Erin in your new job and upcoming marriage. I wish you only the best!!

Congrats Erin!! I remember watching you when I was in college in Greensboro!

CONGRATS!!!

Be careful in Hotlanta...you thought driving was bad here YIKES!!!

Congratulations Erin! I know you will succeed at the new job and your upcoming marriage. Wral has lost a lot of great anchors and reporters, but there are also many that remain. I have always been a fan and always will be. Maybe I can google your station and keep up with you and John. Good luck and best wishes! You will be missed...

She is very sexy. I will miss seeing her.

Congratulations, While you're there, see if you can run to the radio side and get neal boortz to check out golo.

Oh man, just when they get somebody good on there. She was always so cheerful and had such a great delivery. No wonder Atlanta snapped her up. Can't blame her for wanting a bigger market. Although WRAL has launched some big names like Jim Axelrod and Bobbi Batista. Good luck Erin. You will be missed.

What happened to Chris Thompson the weatherman? He just disappeared.
