NEW ENGLAND STALWART HANGING IT UP

After a 41-year run in local television, Frank Colletta, anchor of the morning news at Sinclair’s WJAR in Providence, RI is hanging it up in two weeks.

We can just say “Wow!”

He made the announcement this week:

He’s anchored the morning show since it first signed on back in 1985.

The 70-year-old Coletta began his career in radio before joining WJAR behind the scenes in 1978 as an assignment editor.

The station will wait for a decent interval before announcing who the new morning team will be.
