Ridley Relocates, Hired by Hearst


Ousted 7News weekender Larry Ridley has landed in central Florida.   According to multiple sources, Ridley will be signing a contract with NewsCenter5 sister-station WESH 2 News in Orlando, where he will become sports director.

Ridley is excited about his new job, remarking, “I’m looking forward to it.”  He also told TVSpy, “I’m definitely looking forward to the warmer temperatures.”

According to the report, final details are still being ironed out, but Ridley is expected to be appearing on the weeknight shows.

As you may remember, btvn first broke the news that Ridley left channel 7 following a non-renewal.  He had held the weekend sports anchor position since 2006.
