inside wral: welcome to the anchor desk, sloane
Published Oct. 6, 2009Views: 4521
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.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
In a previous blog, we said goodbye to WRAL weekend morning anchor Erin Coleman who accepted an anchoring job in Atlanta.
Now, we can officially welcome reporter Sloane Heffernan to the weekend anchor desk. She is joining Renee Chou on Saturday and Sunday mornings.
One of Sloane's first duties was to shoot the show's opening credits – the video where the anchors and meteorologist smile as the announcer says: "Live from Raleigh, you're watching WRAL News in high definition with Renee Chou, Sloane Heffernan and meteorologist Mike Moss."
I grabbed a camera and took some pictures so you can see some behind-the-scenes shots.
Sloane's opening credit shot only lasts a second, just enough to see her tilt her head and smile. But that smiling second was perfected by WRAL's Creative Director Shelly Leslie and Digital Media Administrator Steve Elizondo.
You can watch the final product here.
Please join me in welcoming Sloane to the weekend anchor desk!

WRAL has a wealth of very talented people, and I consider this to be good news for the viewers, the station, and for Sloane.

She does look pregnant.
(besides I wonder that about every woman I see that is of child bearing age)
